Applet Magic works great, sort of

[crispen@hiwaay.net (Bob Crispen)]

I've got Applet Magic working with very few problems on a Windows 95
machine with LabTek Gnat 3.01.

The only problems are:

(a) java (v. 1.0) won't run newlife:

% java newlife.test
Can't find class newlife/test

(b) Netscape 2.01 won't display any of the applets, but appletviewer
will.  Suspect this is a problem with running it locally without httpd
running or some other silly.  The errors are:

(for bigcalc): java.lang.ClassCircularityError
Applet LifeRect: exception: java.lang.NullPointerException
Applet mancala: Game can't start: exception: interfaces.Java

(c) You've got to compile things in a certain order (you sure get
spoiled fast by gnat).  I did it the brute-force way, by compiling
everything until everything compiled OK.  Since the Readme file is a
couple of steps behind anyway, could we have a makefile?  (ducking for
cover, due to a recent discussion here).

I'm reporting this here because:

(a) I swear I couldn't find a "report bugs to" address in any of the
documentation or on the webpage.

(b) Applet Magic is a bloody miracle.  To heck with the bugs, this is
beta software and less than beta documentation.  Way to go,
Intermetrics!
