It turned out to work well for presentation purposes too.

I think I had an run with Javadoc with incorrect command line parameters or something.

There are assumptions about the images. I keep them in a different directory, and suffer without the
images. But it's probably best to move them to the API directory.

You set the associations in Netscape, or for the program object properties of Netscape?

The just create the objects (variables) that we use to manage the connections later.

One object each. One of the things I don't like about our design (and the way I implemented it), is
that too many of the objects need services of other very specific objects. It would be nice if there
was a touch more distance between these classes.
