If you see an error "Applet can't start: class animator not found"
or "Applet can't start: class animator got a security violation: method verification error"
in the status bar, that means that you didn't RENAME those class
files correctly. Their correct names are: animator.class, common.class and load.class
(Please reopen your browser after you correct names of class files).
If you get error message other than that, read the instructions for installation in readme.txt
