User Interface

The applet uses AWT to provide the interface in order to provide maximum compatibility with Java 1.1. This does mean, though, that it is somewhat ugly, and importantly looks different on different platforms. Developed using Internet Explorer, the layout is less pleasing on Netscape.

The solution to this problem would be to use Swing^3.5 , and future developments of this software should certainly use it, and spend time converting the existing code.
