Created by Berkley Shands (berkley@cs.wustl.edu) on Thursday, May 7, 1998 11:25:38 AM PDT Additional Details : This bug is being submitted using the optimized native version of Mozilla 5.0!

Sigh. For Mozilla, which doesn't have Sun's Java code, -taso is not necessary. So I think it is fine to remove -taso from Mozilla's cxxlink-driver.sh. Brian, we still need -taso in Netscape's commercial build as long as we are using Sun Java. By the way, the reason Mozilla doesn't have Java errors is that it doesn't have Java :-) Updated by Berkley Shands (berkley@cs.wustl.edu) on Wednesday, May 13, 1998 6:00:26 AM PDT Additional Details : You can mix -taso and 64 bit code, you just cannot pass pointers around :-)

Closing this bug on the grounds that it no longer has any bearing on the current source base. We're going to have start all over again wrt OSF/1 support.
