I have created a local package that reads a local file.  I would like
to be able to allow downloaded applets to import this package so that
they can also access the contents of the file.  This works fine in the
JDK appletviewer, but when I run it under Netscape it is a security
violation.

Is there a way to change Netscape's security restrictions on a per
package basis?  Or is there a better way to accomplish the same thing?

The security issues do not seem to be very well documented...

Thanks,
