How to find applet on the PC

[chirs]

I was playing a Java applet game. Is it possible for me to play it
off-line? In the source, the <applet...> tag has a .class and .jar
file. But I cannot find them on my PC. I heard that these files
should be downloaded onto my PC. Thank you.

If you look at the html <applet tag it will tell you the name of the
jar file you can download and run locally. With a class file, it will
be more tedious. You will only find out about each missing class file
one at a time until you have them all.

It might be easier to get familiar with the process using some applet
that gives you source to run locally.

I find most Applets no longer run locally in Opera which is a major
PITA.

I cannot find the .jar file on my PC. Could the author encrypt the name?

What is the URL?

Applet tag:

<PARAM NAME="sound" VALUE="on">

If you want it, you might try dropping an email
to the author* and ask him for it.

* Pham Hong Nguyen's email address is available
at the URL shown on the bottom of the applet.

In fact, I've done you a favor and asked the author.

Thank you. I also want to understand how applet works. How came I
cannot find them on my PC? Are their names encrypted? Where is the
location?

Andrew, just a very brief and short note to u to indicate that this
particular Java Exception was "thrown" when I was on your website
"AThompson.info" when I clicked on your download button in the left
frame of the web page!!! It's an "InteruptedException" java exception,
and I was kind of wondering if you know
how to handle it.

The exception happened because of the
'ScrollMessageApplet'.

I did not bother to handle the exceptions very
carefully when I wrote it, and am in the process
of phasing it out (I can do the in HTML now).

It should not interfere with downloading the
PhySci jar.

Depending on the browser and its settings, the applet data may not be present on
your PCs hard disk at all. If it is, it will be in the browser cache, and the
files there usually have cryptic names like "4A17FA56d01" for technical reasons
concerning cache management. Some browsers also include a module that lets you
browse the cache contents with the files' real names. All of this has nothing
in particular to do with Java.

His response..
"There is not any problem. It is free and all people
can use, copy... without asking me the permit (total
free). You can see the details of licence at
www.nchess.com.

Usually.

It *should* just work - most of the time.

Fire up your browser when offline and point it at the page in question.
