JAVA PLUG-IN

When released in UnixWare 7.1.4, the Mozilla 1.2.1 browser used the Java Plug-ins for the Sun^TM Java^TM 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE), version 1.3.1. At later update to J2SE 1.4.2 released on the UnixWare 7.1.4 Support Download site, provided Java Plug-ins for the Mozilla browser.

If you have not already done so, it is strongly recommended that you upgrade your J2SE 1.4.2 to the latest release available from the SCO UnixWare 7.1.4 Support Download page. This will provide you with:

• a Java Plug-ins module which provides support for J2SE 1.4.2 features which may be used in some Java applets that you encounter on the web.
• The current set of security fixes for your Java VM and Plug-ins.
