A Java 1.1 applet won't work in those browsers unless you update their
Java VM's to the latest.  Microsoft's can be downloaded from
http://www.microsoft.com/java/   Netscape's can be picked off of
http://developer.netscape.com/  Choose JDK Preview on the right hand
side.

You can use the Deployment Wizard and narrow down just the classes you
need.  You can even package these classes in a JAR such that the
entire applet is downloaded at once.  See the HintsAndTips.txt file in
your JBuilder directory for details on deploying an applet, and also
visit the TechPubs page at http://www.borland.com/techpubs/.  They
have an updated section on Deployment of apps.
