A Netscape-compatible plug-in is usually a Dynamic Link Library (.DLL) file that is in your Opera plug-in directory (ie. c:\opera\plugin) or -- if already installed under Netscape -- in Netscape's plug-in directory. Upon installation of Opera, the routine will look for a Netscape plug-in directory and reference this in OPERA.INI with the entry:
PLUGIN PATH=C:\NETSCAPE\PROGRAM\PLUGIN
or whatever it may be. This means that Opera will automatically recognise the already installed Netscape plug-ins, plus those in Opera's own plug-in directory.
If you now click on 'Find Plugins', Opera will scan these two directories and look for new plug-ins. If it finds them, it will ask you whether you wantto associate the file extension belonging to the plug-in with the plug-in. Your answer will usually be 'Yes'.
From now on, any file with that extension associated with/linked to a plug-in will cause Opera calling up the plug-in and display the file (play the animation, video, sound, etc.)
Usually the plug-ins have a right-click menu, where you can further control the file, ie. zoom, reverse, play again, etc.
TIP: If you cannot install your plug-in into the Opera directory because the installer is looking for an installation of Netscape and specifically 'netscape.exe', create or copy a short text file in the Opera directory and rename it to 'netscape.exe'. The installer will then think there is a valid installation of Netscape available and install the plug-in.
