The point of such security is so that I can trust a random Java applet sent across the net. Since I can't know what compiler made the applet, or even if it was written in Java bytecode by hand, it would be pointless if "such compilers" could bypass Java security. -- David Starner - dstarner98@aasaa.ofe.org Only a nerd would worry about wrong parentheses with square brackets.
