Not sure about windows (this is not a java-windows mailing list, after all :)), but I once tried writing applets making use of Swing and running them on linux inside netscape. The browser looks at CLASSPATH and utilizes extra classes available along it, if the browser itself does not already have an internal copy of them. So if you write a Swing applet and you have installed Swing on your computer, of course it works fine on your computer. To get it going on other people's computers, you need to install Swing on them as well. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
