The idea of packaging the jarfile into a zipfile never occured to me because a jarfile IS a zipfile! But it is obvious that this will solve most download problems and people will be less confused about the download. The next release will be wrapped in a zipfile. It doesn´t get any smaller, but it solves problems with Nextscape, so why not?.

Thanks for the idea,

By the way:
This is my personal opinion about the endless Netscape/Explorer discussion:

There were times when Netscape was clearly the best browser around and they invented and set standards for many important things. But this time is long gone and as a webdesigner and developer I had to realize that both Netscape browsers (4.7x and 5) are full of intolerable bugs. And they are also slow, compared to Explorer. I surely hate Microsoft as much as any sensible person should, but I think the Explorer is the (technically) best browser available at the present. If you don´t want to use it, try Opera or any other browser then Netscape, it is really worth it. Netscape causes so many problems during webdevelopment it is unbelievable. It is one the main topics in our office, because 60% of a webdesigners time goes to "optimization for Netscape", (not for the Explorer, which displays nearly anything correctly). I will add the jar/zip fix (which is only a hotfix for the poor Netscape users) although I told myself not to support Netscape any longer. And one more thing: Since AOL took over Netscape the whole software is rather a new AOL-browser which reconfigures your whole computer to Netscape and AOL content. You can´t even do much about it and this really makes me sick.

So, that´s my opinion and that´s it. I hope Netscape will "vanish" soon and designers can finally put up some really cool websites. You have no idea what we had on our desktops which then had to be cancelled completely(!) because it could not be displayed by Netscape. It is soooooo frustrating.
