How I setup Mozilla 1.0 for Real Player, Acrobat, Flash, and a
generic plug-in Plugger.

<H3><a name="Purpose"></a>Purpose</H3>
The purpose of this article is just to show how I installed
various plugins with Mozilla. Getting all the basic plugins to
work is one of the last things (besides a spellchecker) which I
need to make it so I never use Netscape again. I installed
Mozilla 1.0 at /usr/local/mozilla and created a file called
"/usr/bin/mozilla" with the following contents:
<pre>
#export XENVIRONMENT=/usr/local/mozilla/Netscape.ad
export NPX_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/local/Acrobat4/Browsers/intellinux
export PATH=/usr/local/Acrobat4/bin:$PATH
/usr/local/mozilla/mozilla
</pre>
<A NAME="248lfindex1"> </A>
<H3><a name="real"></a>Real Player</H3>
Real Player was pretty easy. Just download the free Real Player
and copy raclass.zip and rpnp.so to the mozilla plugins
directory.
<A NAME="248lfindex2"> </A>
<H3><a name="flash"></a>Flash Player</H3>
I downloaded the Flash Player and copied libflashplayer.so into
the mozilla plugins directory.
<A NAME="248lfindex3"> </A>
<H3><a name="acrobat"></a>Acrobat Reader</H3>
This was a little more complicated, but I was thrilled when I
got a pdf document embedded into a webpage.
<ol>
<li>Install Acrobat at "/usr/local/Acrobat4".</li>
<li>Copy nppdf.so into the mozilla plugins directory.</li>
<li>mv /usr/bin/mozilla /usr/bin/mozilla_old</li>
<li>
Create a /usr/bin/mozilla script with the following
content:
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
export NPX_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/local/Acrobat4/Browsers/intellinux
export PATH=/usr/local/Acrobat4/bin:$PATH
/usr/local/mozilla/mozilla
</pre>
</li>
<li>chmod 755 /usr/bin/mozilla</li>
</ol>
<A NAME="248lfindex4"> </A>
<H3><a name="plugger"></a>Plugger</H3>
<a href="http://fredrik.hubbe.net/plugger.html">Plugger</a> is
a really cool plugin that connects your browser to all sorts of
stuff like audio files, postscript, excel document, word
document, etc. Follow the instructions on how to install
Plugger. At the end of the instructions, copy plugger.so into
the mozilla plugins directory. I was using a RedHat 7.2 system.
<p>After I installed plugger, I got the following to work:</p>

<H3><a name="conclusions"></a>Conclusions.</H3>
None, other than this is great and I am glad I finally don't
need Netscape for anything (I never really used it anymore
anyways). The only thing I might recommend is not to use
plugger for videos ,like mpeg, as it was just too slow. Gtv was
much faster for mpeg compared to using plugger and xanim.
