Hi,

It's true that jce.zip needs to precede classes.zip if for some reason
you put classes.zip on your CLASSPATH. There's no reason for you to
add classes.zip to your CLASSPATH explicitly, since the script that
invokes the java interpreter already adds that to the CLASSPATH.
My advice is, don't add anything at all to the CLASSPATH unless you
absolutely need it to be there. In particular, don't add classes.zip
to your CLASSPATH.

The JCE works with JDK 1.1 and later. If you tell the browser
companies you look forward to JDK 1.1 support in their products, that
will help them know that people do want to use JDK 1.1 features in the
browsers. I don't know the dates for when the browser vendors will
support JDK 1.1.

I think that given the lack of JDK 1.1 support in browsers other than
HotJava, you might have a problem running an applet that uses JCE.
You could try debugging your applet with HotJava,
