Microsoft VM vs Sun JRE

G

gerrymcc

An applet I mentioned in a post yesterday was written with Java 1.4,
on Windows XP and runs fine in Internet Explorer 6.0; the Java Console
Control Panel says Use Java Plug-in default, and the Java Console says
Java Plug-in version is 1.4.1. I then tried to run the applet on an
older machine with Win95, IE 4.0; the Plug-in says the Microsoft VM
5.0 is being used, even though I set the Control Panel to Use Plug-in
1.3. Is there any way to get the older machine to run the applet
written with 1.4 to run in IE 4.0 with the Microsoft VM, or in IE 4.0
using the Sun 1.4 JRE? Is it even possible to get IE 4.0 to use one
of the Sun Plug-ins?

And finally, is there a way for me to check what version of the JRE an
applet *must* find in order to run; I mean, if I find an applet on the
internet, can I determine what version of Java it was written/compiled
with, and what minimum version it can run under?

Thanks for any help,
Gerard
