Todd:

This may seem to contradict what others have said, but I promise this is
more of a refinement.  The answer to your question, as stated, is
"probably no, the applet won't run".  All of this assumes your friend has
a Java 1.1 enabled browser.

If you get your friend *all* the classes and tell him the right places to
stick those classes on his machine (including getting the case correct
for all directories, etc), then yes, he'll be able to run your applet.
If your applet uses any of the jbcl components, you could also forward
the archives in the \redist directory and he'd be able to run your applet
as long as he wasn't using Netscape.

Your best bet it to package all your classes and any of the needed
classes from the other archives into a single JAR file.  Use the
Deployment Wizard to accomplish this.  Then, you send your friend the
HTML file and the archive and you have a much better chance of the Applet
working.
