    Subject: Writing files from an Applet to the local file system

Hi,
we are currently developing a HTML and JAVA based interactive
information system on CD-ROM. I would like to use a standard
Browser to view the text and JAVA files, which means that I have
to use Applets for the Java code (?).

However, as you know, Applets are not very useful when it comes
to writing to the local file system. This is a big problem and
I am desperately looking for a solution.

I probably could use javakey to sign my applets, but then I am
confined to the HotJava Browser (?).
Is there a way to load the applets as local applets (i.e. so that
they are inside the sandbox and have access to all resources) ?

Do you have any other creative suggestions to solve this problem.
(For this project, I am afraid that JDK1.2 will come too late ...)

Thanks a lot for your help !

Thomas Vogele
