    Subject: Applets accessing local disks (read/write)

I have been investigating having java applets reading and writing to
the local disk from a browser. It seems that there is a lot of
separate information on javasoft.com.
I would like to develop a Java applet that reads and writes the users
local disk. I understand that I will have to make a trusted applet.
Could you please tell me more general information:
What is the process overview from a development standpoint ?
How about from a distribution standpoint, e.g. how does it all get
packaged ?
What about the major browser support including specific versions ?
Any help would be breatly appreciated,
Bill Olmstead
