I dont' think this is an issue with a particular class or package not
being supported by the Microsfot VM. I assert that fact b/c of the
results of my experiment with the scribble applet. when I took an the
applet class off whatever site was hosting it, and put it on my
webserver - microsoft vm browsers could load it. when I rebuilt the
.java file with JBuilder and served that .class file, the microsft vm
browsers bombed out.

This brings me to another question. Maybe more interesting. when I
switched my JDK in JBuilder, I thought that I was building with the
javac compiler that came with the 1.1.8 jdk. But on further
inspection, JBuilder seems to be using a "Borland Make" compiler....
NOT javac from the jdk. So it may be that when I thought I was
building 1.1.8 class files, I was really have no idea what version I'm
building b/c I don't know anything about "Borland Make". Maybe this
explains the problems.
