The applets ran fine on a G3 Mac(blue tower), system 8.5, using IE 4.01
and the Apple MRJ 2.0.  I also downloaded the latest MRJ, (Mac OS
Runtime for Java)  (MRJ 2.1) and the applets also ran fine in that
environment.

Current versions of Netscape Communicator and Netscape Navigator (up to
4.5) use their own internal Java virtual machine and unlike Explorer you
have no choice.  You have to run their virtual machine.  This machine is
not JDK 1.1 compliant and the applets will not run under this environment.

Finally, thank you for sharing these applets.  I will find them useful in
my classes.
