Well, actually, it won't work for anyone - you can't use WFC's Graphics classes against AWT. WFC is for programming Windows programs using Java. It's not designed for cross-platform work - its sole purpose is to allow you to program kick-ass Windows apps using the Java language (main benefit: a factor of 20 increase in productivity over using C++ to do the same thing, and it's a much nicer language to program in than Visual Basic). You can't use WFC in any kind of cross-platform manner - even by accident - because WFC depends on information that the JVM can't provide to applets. Simon
