i'm using HTML converter 1.3.1 01 to convert an applet although
when i try to run the applet in any browser i get the exception
below (this what the java console prints out). i know these
applets work because they run in applet viewer.
ps i also using jdk 1.3.0 01 There has to be some way to change
this i'm just not sure how? any suggestions ?
thanks!!!

It looks like you're trying to load a file from the local disk -
something you can't do in applets without signing them first. The Java
documentation on applets should have more details about security
restrictions and how to sign your applets to allow the user of the
applets to decide whether or not to trust your applets to have more
access.

Appletviewer grants AllPermissions for the html. Apparently (it seems to me
strange why) you system denies the read access to Chevelle.gif file. Where is
it located?
