Ok, now I try to find the author and ask him what JVM he have used
There is a tool to know it analyzing the .class file?

I'm agree about your argumentations about the M$ VM, but it's a matter of
fact that in my past experiences I had some problems also with applets that
not work on some enviroments (i.e. Apple computers) also if I have used Sun
JVM.
In other enviroments with the same version of Sun VM they run normally.

So "not all that shining is gold" (I don't know if it's the right sentence
in English, but in Italian, my language, it sounds fine :) )

I don't know, my English is terrible, I think :)

Thanks for the hints, I will try to find the correct version of JVM and I
test when applet run correctly.
