Re: Some Physics java applets

[Rick Tarara <rbtarara@SPRYNET.COM>]

But Brian, it's the Mac platforms that are the primary problem, and if you
look back in the computer literature you'll find it's ALWAYS been the Mac
platform that seems incompatible with aspects of JAVA.  Don't blame this one
on Bill.

Again--so much for platform compatibility.  I'll stay with executables done
in TrueBasic where one may still need separate Mac and PC versions, but with
versions 5.x of the language the code is now about 99% the same (you can
even use the same bmp and jpeg graphics files in both formats).  TB even has
a 'free' trial Linnux version!
