The ever-popular WebChess server, recently upgraded to faster
hardware and better graphics, now also supports *** Java Mode *** !

When you ask for Java mode, it downloads a WebChess class to handle
the board layout and INTERACTIVE move entry with the mouse.  Yup,
click on the piece, click on where to move to, and off you go!

Since the Java class uses the same base image over and over again (it
arranges the piece images on your end from a master image), this
SHOULD cut down on image download times, but for some reason (bug?)
the showDocument function tells Netscape to "reload" rather than
"jump", so all the icons on the page get reloaded.  I reduced the
number of icons on the page to compensate.
