Dear Sir:

I had a project need to let java applet to access local file through
general browser(netcape and IE).
I use the mechanism "Sign Applet" from
"http://java.sun.com/security/signExample/". I noticed that this mechanism
is not supported by netscape and IE(At the beginning of this page). But,
I have run the Signed Applet(the Example from the page) successfully
on Netscape on Unix once. I never run it on Windows Nt and also I can not
run it on Unix anymore.
Could you please tell me if the Sign Applet is supported by Netscape/IE or
not ? Is there other mechanism that allow Applet access local file on the
general browser(Netscape or IE)?

Thanks a lot
