Hi,
I would like to explain you here a "possible bug". I wonder whether it's due
to Explorer or Java !
I'm using your test applet at http://java.sun.com/sfaq/example/writeFile.html
And what a surprise !
In fact this applet has succeeded in writing in /tmp/foo in my local disk !

I have repeated this operation and it's ALWAYS the same result.

Could you help me ?
If it's anormal, could you expalin me if there is any (only one) possibility
to let an applet loaded in a browser to write on the local disk with Explorer
3.0 or Netscape 3.01.?

Thank you

Benoit
