To speed up the HTML Help Java Applet download time

1. Place all the required class and image files into a cabinet (.cab) file if Microsoft Internet Explorer is the target browser, or a .zip file if Netscape Navigator is the target browser.

2. Use the following syntax:

   <APPLET archive="HHCtrl.zip" code="HHCtrl.class" width=200 height=200 codebase="code base">
   <PARAM name="Command" value="command type">
   <PARAM name="Item1" value="text data">
   <PARAM name="Cabbase" value="HHCtrl.cab">
   </APPLET> 
   

Notes

• Microsoft Internet Explorer lets you specify a CABBASE parameter with the name of a .cab file. A .cab file is a compressed archive containing your class files.
• Netscape Navigator uses an ARCHIVE parameter with the <APPLET> tag, and an uncompressed .zip file as an archive.
