That alone won't do it; Microsoft's Java SDK and Sun's JDK are 
fundamentally equivalent in their compilers (at least within this context).

You need a different tool: cabarc.exe and signcode.exe (I think these are 
the names, else look for something with similar names). You'll need to wrap 
the applet in a .CAB file and sign the applet with the appropriate permissions.

In addition, you will need to make a change to your Java source code: 
before actually calling your method, you will also need to assert these 
permissions. Read Microsoft's documentation on exactly how to do that. It 
is in some com.ms.security class, but I don't remember the details.

Note that this code will fail in Netscape (and in fact, it won't even 
compile in Sun's JDK) because neither Netscape nor Sun know anything about 
any com.ms. classes. So you need Microsoft-specific code.
