Step 1 after that is to back off of JDK 1.2 to JDK 1.1 and not use Swing
(JFC which is JApplet).

If you see something that looks like an opinion up there,
it's mine and mine alone.

Mail sent to me from the newsgroups won't bounce but will
be ignored.  If I have time, I'll respond, but you  have
a better chance if you confine your posts to the newsgroups
