Thats not really true. AFAIK, only netscape 4.04 with the java patch
and IE 4.01 will run JDK 1.1. I think Netscape 4.0x with a patch will
kinda run 1.1. Hotjava and stuff will, of course...but no one has it..

Hmmm, might have been a misunderstanding here. activator is a product
from sun that will leverages a JRE or JDK (the latest, or you're choice)
to run applets. It's a plugin, and they supposedly work with netscape
3.03+ and IE 3.??+. Last time I tried my applet it choked
though..although from Solaris it did quite nicely.
If you're at all interested in running 1.1 applets, I'd look into the
activator...try java.developer.com (I think...if it's wrong let me know.)
