      I recently downloaded a javaIRC applet. I have dreams of providing Java-based Dalnet
      access from my site. Well, I tried to bring the
      thing up locally and it didn't work. I tried to
      bring the thing up after I uploaded the page
      containing it to http://www.internettrash.com/users/unfettered/local.html Still no luck.

      It says it can't start the applet because it
      needs a class called chat. The site from where
      I got the applet is no help at all. I do not know
      how to get a class called chat. I am willing to
      code it if necessary. I have used BASIC and coded
      in dBaseIII+, do web pages, and build on a MUCK,
      so I figure I can get this thing running if the
      problem can be fixed from the client side.

      I could be wrong, but I don't think that the class you need is any of the publicly available one's which means that your only
      recourses are to get the original code or to code it yourself. That would involve decompiling the classes that you have and
      figuring out the methods calls made to the chat class.

      You are probably right, Mike. I sent
      the person whose applet this is an email asking
      for the class, but he's not in business for
      money so I figure an answer will be a long time
      in coming. Meanwhile, I have wondered if it
      would be possible to use the class on his site
      just as one might link to an illustration on
      another site. I added the words:

      codebase="http://www.best.com/~faigor/java/IRC/classes/"

      Now instead of a class not found message
      I get a class format error. I have a feeling
      that I am making slight errors in syntax.
      If someone would straighten me out, I'd be
      greatly appreciated.
