Unfortunately the JDK 1.1 signing and verification is not supported
by the web browsers (Netscape's and Microsoft's.) It is supported
in HotJava, http://java.sun.com/products/hotjava and appletviewer.

You can use the Java Plug-In in the browsers to get access to
more recent JDK technology, http://java.sun.com/products/plugin
You should be able to use 1.1.x signed applets with the Plug-In
plugged into the browsers.

We are working with the Java licensees to get the standard Java
signing working for people in an interoperable way.

When you see a pop-up dialog box in Netscape's browsers that refers
to signed applets, this is Netscape's particular implementation - it isn't
the same as our implementation.
