Having recently ported a sophisticated applet using JNI (Sun's new
|
|
native interface) to JRI (older Netscape) and RNI (older IE), I too
|
|
can kick and scream.
|
|
|
|
Despite the fact that JNI is modelled on JRI, it was _much_ easier to
|
|
port to RNI. Besides taking a whole lot more code (you have to do the
|
|
whole silly "plugin" thing), Netscape was prone to crash at strange
|
|
times for unknown reasons.
|
|
|
|
There's even a difference between exiting from the file menu and
|
|
closing from the title bar.
|
|
|
|
When's the last time you closed a GUI from the file menu??
|
|
|
|
Sheesh.
