mindterm mac os x experiences - not good

[David Botsch]

Well, here's where I've gotten under OS X . .
with advice, I've set up the uncompressed .cab so that browsers can d/l 
the files they want. Fine, the applet loads.

IE/Mozilla . . sometimes the applet runs fine. Sometimes not. When 
not,a fter the dialog to either grant or deny the applet permissions, 
the applet window comes up with the cursor in the upper left corner of 
the screen. I then get the infamous Mac spinning lollipop. This is 
under 10.1. Under Jaguar, this spinning lollipop happens consistently 
with Mozilla. I am forced to force-quit the browser.

Chimera: using the uncompressed jar for netscape, applet will not 
initialize. Using the uncompressed cab for ie instead, applet 
initializes with the same spinning lollipop symptoms as Mozilla per OS, 
but when it does get past that, when prompted for the hostname to 
connect to, the applet has frozen. Browser still works, however.

Any suggestions? As you can see, the spinning lollipop problem is worse 
with 10.2, it would seem.
