I've now had another one of these Fatal Error boxes "Unable to parse
OS2PREF.JS. Exiting" when trying to run the install for Java 1.1.8 (thinking
that an upgrade might solve the problem). So it seems unlikely that it's a
Netscape specific problem and more likely to be a Java problem.

Here is the relevant part of my config.sys file as it applies to JAVA and
NETSCAPE. I've edited out all the other lines as well as all the non-Java and
non-Netscape references from the lines (for brevity). If there is anything
missing or looking odd, I'd like to know.

LIBPATH=d:\JAVA11\DLL;d:\inet\client\browser\netscape\PROGRAM;d:\NETSCAPE\JAVA1

1;d:\NETSCAPE;

SET INCLUDE=d:\JAVA11\INCLUDE;d:\JAVA11\INCLUDE\OS2; SET LIB=d:\JAVA11\LIB;
SET PATH=d:\inet\client\browser\netscape\PROGRAM;d:\NETSCAPE;d:\JAVA11\BIN;

SET
CLASSPATH=d:\inet\client\browser\netscape\program\java\classes\jil3240.zip;
d:\inet\client\browser\netscape\program\java\classes\sys3240.zip;d:\NETSCAPE\
JAVA11\JEMPCL10.ZIP;d:\NETSCAPE\njclass.zip;.\.;

I have a regular Java install on d:\JAVA11, a regular Netscape 2.02 install on 
d:\NETSCAPE, and a regular Communicator install on
d:\inet\client\browser\netscape

Communicator 4.04 was working until suddenly I got the above error, so I guess 
something must have been changed/overwritten/deleted. Netscape 2.02 still
appears to be working, and at least 1 other Java application also appears to
be working normally.

Is there anything missing/weird about my config.sys statements? I'd like to be 
running Communicator 4.04 as my main browser and eventually remove Netscape
2.02 after I'm satisfied with 4.04.
