Great, thanks jpk. I thought you must be able to do such things but the lack of the console window doesn't make things easy to debug.<br />
<br />
One further point though, will IE assume native libraries held locally are signed?<br />

Nope, Applet security specifications under JAVA indicate that anyting running in a browser is to be considered insecure.<br />
<br />
Applications, though, are only restricted by OS directory and file access permitions.<br />
<br />
As an extra comment regarding debugging, For testing purposes, O'Rielley's Web Site &nbsp;stores just about every imaginable error in its log files (if you tur on the correct options) and has a free version at <a href="http://www.ora.com" rel="ugc">http://www.ora.com</a>&nbsp;under the software free software section.<br />
<br />
Its not the greates substitute for a console, but can be alot of help.<br />

Hi folks,<br />
<br />
Can some kind soul explain the security policies enforced by MS IE 3.02? Specifically I want to know if I can load a native library (but that's not essential) and whether I can receive from a UDP socket (that is).<br />
<br />
The other thing I really want is to be able to pop up a Java console window to watch for exceptions being thrown... can this be done: I can't see any menu items related to it.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance,<br />
denty.

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
