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.
