Hello,

I've been writing some simple Java applets using the free download of Borland's JBuilder X Foundation. I followed Borland's "GoodEvening" example in their documentation and I can run that applet and my own applets from within the development environment and also from my web browser (galeon). However, when I go to another computer to check out the applets, they don't run. The following messages appear in the Java console:

Error loading class: powermodapplet.PowerModApplet

In the corresponding web page I have the following line in the arguments of the APPLET tag:

CODEBASE = "."
CODE = "powermodapplet.PowerModApplet.class"
ARCHIVE = "PowerModApplet.jar"

I used "jar tf" to see if the directory structure in my jar file is appropriate. It produced the following output:

# lots of stuff omitted for clarity
com/borland/jbcl/view/image/rollUR.gif
com/borland/product/ResIndex.class
com/borland/sql/SQLAdapter.class
powermodapplet/PowerModApplet.class
powermodapplet/PowerModApplet_buttonMod_actionAdapter.class

It didn't make any difference when I changed

CODE = "powermodapplet.PowerModApplet.class"

to

CODE = "powermodapplet/PowerModApplet.class"

Does anyone have ideas/suggestions I can try to get my applets working for people other than me?

Thanks,
