Subject: JAVA Spot Diagram applet

I wrote a spot diagram applet in JAVA to display spot diagrams for
parabolidal mirrors.  It includes provisions for defining the mirror,
including spherical aberration and turned edge, and shows the spot
diagram with various display options.  I wrote it mostly as a "how does
JAVA work?" exercise so it's not the most robust thing in the world,
but I thought some of the folks in the group might be interested.

To run it, you need a fairly up-to-date web browser that support JAVA.
Here's my current list as to what works:

 Netscape 3.0.1: OK
 Netscape 3.0 on a PC (Widows 95): works for some folks
 Netscape 3.0 on a Mac: OK
 Netscape 2.0.2: Probably OK
 Netscape 2.0: No
 Sun's Hot Java: OK
 Internet Explorer 3.01: OK
