I don't think you will be able to run it without the Sun plugin, for the time being.

The last time I spoke to Josh, however, he was planning on creating a version that didn't require any download or plugin. But I'm not holding my breath since, as I said before, I'm sure the income producing related chores take precedence over us peons.<g> Incidentally, I haven't found it unstable or piggish. I HAVE found various java based web sites that way, but the gritsch client has always worked fine for me, at least when it's working. Also, I find it works best using IE. That's the only time I use IE.<g>

Perhaps if we step up an email campaign, it would spur him on.

Then again, it might piss him off enough that he shuts the public view down.<g>

What to do, what to do......

[gritch - island viewer]
pae, to run the 'gritch' client in Netscape (I'm using 4.08 right now,
should work for IE as well) you have to modify the startpage
@www.isld.com a bit. The way it is written right now the java
plug-in is always expected.
To make things simple just copy and paste the following code into a
html file onto your hard disk and use a browser to open this file,
then the gritch client should start.
