On Win95, JDK Beta:
Attempting to run the appletviewer:
(cd ...\java)
bin\appletviewer demo\GraphLayout\example1.html
results in the appletviewer window appearng (empty) except for the
menubar with the "Applet" button; and text in the lower left corner
which says "starting applet..."
If you choose "Quit" or click the close glyph in the wm title bar,
it exits; choosing any other menu item does nothing, and subsequently
Quit does not work either (presumably it is blocked pending the previously
requested action).
After a long wait (a minute?), the messages
"status: applet loaded"
"status: applet initialized"
"status: applet started"
appear in the DOS window from which it was started;
the lower left corner label in the viewer changes to "applet started";
and the applet appears.
What's going on?
Is some network connection probe being attempted?
(no network connection was available in this case, but making one
available seemed to make no difference)
Aside: Do 2.0 Navigator and Java still require Microsoft's winsock, or will
a Trumpet winsock work as well?
BTW, some of the demos, such as BarChart, do not work properly unless
run from their subdirectory.
BTW, changing the properties does not save correctly as distributed;
the subdirectory java\.hotjava does not exist in the distribution.
Once created, they save fine.
