Evidently MRJ is roughly equivalent to 1.1.7 with some 1.1.8 features added
in.  I think there is a upgrade in beta to this now though.  IE4.5 can have
this as the default Java implentation.  Let me ask you this: I have a
relatively small number of Mac users.  Are you saying I should download
swingall.jar each time the applet loads(I think this is ~2MB) - that is bundle
it in my applet jar? Would it be possible to install swingall.jar somewhere on
a Mac so that the applet would get it. I'm not even sure how you set the
classpath on a Mac. Appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.
