Can you check this out and see what happens?
the commands
cd Applet
javac -source 1.3 Tcpbw100.java
jar -cmf MANIFEST.MF Tcpbw100.jar Tcpbw100*.class
cp Tcpbw100.jar /usr/local/ndt

should get you a new binary.  You will need to close and re-open the 
browser to get it to pick up the new applet.

Matt and I have talked about combining these 2 tools.  We both think it 
would be good for the community, but don't expect it to happen overnight.  .-)
