More "Applet not initialised": why do I need main? (not CLASSPATH prob)

Well, well, well,
I also got this "ANI" error which seems to be as big a problem as M$'s GPF.
In my case, it doesn't seem to be related to the CLASSPATH env var. I wrote a
small applet to test a few things. It uses the PackerLayoutManager to install
GUI components. With the appletviewer, for some reason, it looks awful so I
tried it with Netscape2.0b3. It didn't work.
I found it pretty weird so I exited, modified mi CLASSPATH variable, restarted
but no dice. Then I tried another applet I had created and lo' and behold!
It worked.
So I looked at the difference between the two applets and saw that one had a
main() method, the other didn't. When I added the main method, it worked.
Can someone explain why?
I thought main() was only necessary when creating an application, not an
applet. I've got a start() and an init() method and that seems to be accepted
properly by the appletviewer but not Netscape. Anyone have an idea what it is
I don't understand about applets?
Thank you.
