Java Applet question

[Matthew Carpenter]

I realize this isn't necessarily a direct Linux question, but this is the
largest amount of brainpower I know of.

I have created an Applet and compiled it using COLW31's default JVM (Sun
JVM 1.3)
Loading the Applet on a Windows machine using IE5.5 and the MS JVM fails
with an error message, basically: "getWidth()I method not found".  I load
the Sun JVM on the same Windows workstation and it loads fine.  Did MS
break their VM further such that it won't read Applets created using the
Sun JVM or is this a known LinuxJVM/MSJVM conflict?  I've tried compiling
for a backleveled version using the "-target 1.2" and "-target 1.1"
options, but to no avail.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
Matt
