Correct, if you are using the JDK. Not correct if you have an alpha3
applet.

Better yet, put it in a web page and just use a URL.

The problem is probably in case-sensitive names. If you refer to the
file using the same case as on Solaris, it works just fine. If you
get sloppy and change the case, Java's class loader gets upset and
claims the file isn't there (when it is). We've fixed that for beta.

Ignore those shortened names, and refer to the file using the same
name as under Solaris.
