BUILDING

it's a simple build, if you have a jdk > 1.1 on your
system. just compile the java files. generally, I
put these in an uncompressed jar file.

javac Tag.java
javac Parser.java
javac waplet.java
jar -c0f waplet.jar *class

RUNNING (LOCAL)

for now, try this (it works on Linux, at least):
edit the applet "page" parameter in the sample.html file
so that it points to the wap_content file, with an
absolute file url. for example, in the directory /tmp/waplet:

...
        <param name="page" value="file:///tmp/waplet/wap_content.wml">
... 

then point netscape at the sample.html file, like:

netscape /tmp/waplet/sample.html &

and it should work. 

I managed to get this working in windows/netscape by setting
the page parameter like this (in the c:/waplet/ directory):

...
        <param name="page" value="file:///C|/waplet/wap_content.wml">
... 

but I haven't gotten it to work under IE. 

RUNNING (HTTP)

if you have a web server running, it should be a bit easier. 
just point the page parameter at a wml page you want to display
(use an absolute url) on the same host as the html page (because
of applet security restrictions). check the java console in the 
browser for help tracking down problems.

BUGS

there are bound to be plenty of bugs, todos, and the like.
please use the bug tracking system at sourceforge.net. I'd 
like that to be the central repository for all that stuff.
