Hi,

In my project we need to access a locally resident C++ program on client
machine from a locally resident applet (loaded onto the broweser).
I understand we need to make the applet trusted by signing it. Do I have
to use Java plug-in 1.1.1 for Netscape 4.x ? Is there any way I can
bypass that to open a socket connection or use JNI to talk to local
programs ?
