Subject: signed applet doesn't work

Hi -

I've tryed to duplicate the example of a signed applet on
http://java.sun.com/security/signExample, with JDK1.1.4 on Windows/95

first on my own applet, and second on the example. I downloaded all
the Duke stuff and was unable to get out of the 'applet sandbox' with
your appletviewer.

Your stuff worked OK over the net with your certificate and web-site,
but I could never get the signed jar file to work for me on my local
disk, or over the net when I produced the certificate (and signature).

I think something is missing, I've seen other email on the net to this
effect, and hope you will respond.

Another subject:
If you can solve this problem, and you know about netscape, I had
trouble importing certificates into navigator4.03 security.
Do you know anything about this?

Your help would be grately appreciated.
