Re: java security concerns

Iam sorry I dont fallow your logic. You find Postscript files save because you can set up the interpreter to ignore Postscript commands to write to files and execute programms (check the CIAC alerts), yet you find Java applets insecure even when you can set up the same restrictions and more under HotJava (and hopefully Netscape)? That does not compute.

Yes it does. To (perhaps over)simplify my point, the Java interpreter cannot be stripped of all i/o capabilities and still remain useful. I can physically remove all the "dangerous" calls from a Postscript interpreter and still have it be useful. Perry
