I'm not too clear about how Applet and its descendants can be used in a
stand-alone Java application.  (I've discovered that creating an instance of
Applet in a stand-alone app doesn't cause "stub" to be set to anything
valid, causing some of Applet's methods to fail.)

Am I correct in saying that "applet services" (getImage, MediaTracker, etc.)
are not available in stand-alone apps?  Is it possible to build an applet
stub that can be used in the absence of a browser?
