I fear that this is starting to move onto shaky ground. > Not > that I want to recommend hand-editing the java.policy file, still, > since it CAN work, let's make it available. The policy file does not work for the MSFT 1.1 JVM. Recall that I have agreed to support the 1.1 JVM through 2006. > Many users are instructors > who would be happy to enable this on their own machines, though not > for their general users.

Theoretically, one should be able to catch security exceptions and handle this situation. However, there is a pretty good chance that this would not work on 1.1 JVMs. In addition, there is the problem of which mechanism to use to warn the user. The viewer engine does not make any assumptions about a windowing package, so it cannot put up a dialog box. So, we would have to add onto the JmolStatusListener ... a mechanism that already needs work.
