Dear Sirs,

Your Web page "JDK 1.2 Signed Applet Example" was extremely helpful due to
its completeness and handholding all the way. One of the clearest, most
useful offereings from Sun that I've seen.

Here are some points that I learned on the way that may be helpful to
others in these matters.

1. Developers don't know all the permissions that their software may
require and might better START will AllPermissions. Although my applet
needed to read and write, apparently Swing FileChooser requires more
permissions than just FilePermission.

2. The policytool codebase should be the final, resolved codebase and not
an intermediate one. My Web pages are (nominally) at www.cvkimball.com
which translates as users.netplx.net/~kimball. The policytool codebase
must refer to users/ntplx.net/~kimball NOT www.cvkimball.com.

Thanks again for the good work.

Best wishes,

Chris
