but the applets no longer run (due to security concerns) in browsers, other than Firefox
For info, I use the latest version of Firefox and they don't run for me due to 'security concerns' even after confirmation via the warning dialog.
PS It looks like they have not been identified by a certificate from a trusted authority. Do these now need to be 'digitally signed'?
PPS The only way I could get them to run is to add http://www.cut-the-knot.org/ to the java exception site list and then confirming on the dialog that I do want to run.

Thank you for taking the time. Yes, this is how it is. The question is what can be done about it.
Re: Making Java applets run
Each of the java applets will need to be signed. Have a look at http://www.codejava.net/java-se/appl...=1&limitstart=

Re: Making Java applets run
I'm not a java person, but it appears that to sign multiple applets you use the command keytool once and then the command jarsigner for each applet. It should be fairly easy to produce a program that generates a batch file using the output of keytool to sign the 600 applets (they are in the same folder?). Once you have the batch file generated then to sign the applets all that is needed is to execute the batch file.

Sincerest thanks. I may well now try to at least convert a few applets and see how it works
