I discovered two issues dealing with the "applet not initialized"
problem. First, neither Netscape b2 nor b3 will load GIFs from the
local disk. I presume this is a bug, because it makes no real sense
as a security issue. Netscape correctly runs local applets that don't
call getImage(URL).
I hit the second problem when I moved my applets over to the network
disk for testing. They still didn't work! The problem was this: my
local disk is Win95, the network disk some bizarre Unix thing. I used
Windows to copy my files to the net disk. But, my files used
mixed-case names, which Windows munged into lowercase during the
move. getImage() is case-sensitive (of course) so, voila, it failed!
My first solution was to use telnet and Unix commands to directly
restore the case-sensitivity of the file names. More permanently, I
make sure all my .gif names are lower-case from the get go.
