Wouldn't it be possible though to split the applet into several Jars and arrange for all but the first to be loaded on demand? Much like the division that was already suggested, only that the applet would not be limited in any way, just load each Jar as/when the user chooses an action that requires a certain class - couldn't that be done with a custom class loader? Maybe one could then provide a way of pre-loading parts before they're needed, to web masters (through some applet parameter and a script command) as well as users (through a menu item and the option of executing that same script command). Mind you, I have never looked at the technicalities of class loading, I'm just thinking aloud. Sebastian Lisken ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
