Start applet

Note on security settings

Running as an applet, the program gives the option to read and write data files from the computer running the web browser. File access makes sizeable scientific/engineering calculations much easier to manage. All reading and writing is done on command, not silently in the background. The program can also import data from local files, import reference data from websites, and communicate with data servers through network sockets. These options are also intended to make the program more convenient to use. In all cases, the input data has to direct the program explicitly before it will do these things: there are no hidden operations.

Local file, network, and socket operations are risky if performed by a malicious program, so you need to give permission to the Java system before the applet is able to load or run.

The program doesn't access microphones, webcams, etc. If the applet permissions can be set to deny access to these and other local facilities, it should still run.
