My boss is trying to open a PNG from the applet url parameter using
version 1.38x and he is having problems.
We think this is because the default case calls
Toolkit.createImage(URL) and this doesn't handle PNGs
We think that it would be better to call ImageIO.read(URL), but we
are investigating this.  Does anyone
have a way to read PNGs from a URL in an applet?

Thanks,

John
