Re: How to keep an applet from being unloaded

[Glenn Nielsen <gl...@voyager.apg.more.net>]

Require that the Sun Java Plugin 1.3 be used.  It can do caching
of applets with version checking so that they don't have to be
downloaded again.  You can also setup the page which references
the applet so that it will prompt for then do the java plugin install.
