can you a blitz game into a java applet inside of a web page?

That's what I built this for!

I have run a few rough tests with the Blitz window shoved straight into a web browser, which worked.
(Both IE and Firefox... I also wrote a program which is in another thread that embeds IE or Firefox into the Blitz window, with a changed style to make it look like a part of the program)

Sadly, it turned out that Java was limited in two very specific ways: It can not get its own window handle, and it can not execute a file without a digital signature... And even then it's doubtful.

Thus, Java is obviously built for the shear purpose of causing my demise....

So you'd need to do a web plugin with a different language (c++ perhaps) in order to execute the Blitz program.
