    Description

      >From: Stefan Wieman <###@###.###>

      Hi I installed the JDK on my PC. Viewing applets using appletview.exe went fine.
      Viewing the demo applets with Netscape 2.0 beta did not display.

      I found 2 reasons why the HelloWorld applet did not run my first 50 runs. From the
      on-line info at the JDK page it was clear that I had to assign a value to the HOME env
      var (using the back slash P). But on another page (can't recall which) I saw I also
      needed to define the CLASSPATH var. Also found out that I have to use forward slashes ( )
      here. (This info should be on the JDK page then.)

      set HOME=CP
      set CLASSPATH=html_doc classes java classes

      When I did this Netscape did at least tell me the applet started (instead of 'Applet not
      initialized'). I hope you'll put this info in the installation procedure of the JDK.
