You cant read files with an applet unless it is signed.  Signing applets
will cost you ~$400.  It will cost you $400 to read files with your applet.
take it or leave it...


experimentlally you can turn off your browwser security with MSIE (not
nutscrape).  You can generate fake certificates and accept them on your
computer.  If you gotta start messing with certs, its gonna be a headache.
