Hello, Is it possible to get an applet to read a text file on a client machine? Title Description: A background process on the client's desktop is generating numbers and writing these to a text file. I want an applet to display different colours based on these numbers. This text file will be updated on a per second basis and the applet must respond in real time to these updates. For purposes of demonstration, I am the user. Do I need to grant the applet any extra privileges to read from the text file and how do I do this as the applet programmer? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
