Net Libs Source Code

There's nothing particularly proprietary in here, so feel free to browse through the source code. However, I would ask that you don't blatently steal it and call it your own. Thanks.

Some of the code uses techniques that are overkill for an applet as simple as Net Libs, but I wanted to use this as a way to test various concepts. Also note that the code was originally typed with 4-space tabs, but most web browsers use 8-space tabs, so some of code doesn't align right.

And, in case you're curious, I wrote an MPW script which scans the source code and inserts the appropriate HTML tags to highlight the comments and insert the header.
