Hi,

That depends. What browser, what version do you use? Experiencing
problems with other applets, like:
  http://www.asciimation.co.nz/
or
  http://www.karrels.org/Ed/Java/MandelApplet.html
? Those should work, if they do there must be a bug in the player.

I know, I don't like to tell people they have to download the rather
large JRE. But one only has to install it once and I hope it will be
included in future operating systems...
Java (ending with an A) programs like Jave (ending with an E) need it to
work - that's the disadvantage of using Java. But there is a great
advantage: Java programs are not limited to running on a certain
operating system. Jave works well on Windows, Linux, Solaris and I have
even heard from some people running it on BeOS or MacOS.

I am trying to remove all the bugs from the player applet and the Jave
application. If only people post some bug reports...
