Need Suggestions on I/O Applet Question

[Dan Nissen]

Hi, I have an applet which does everything I want it to do bar 1 thing. It needs to read/write information to a file. The Applet is perfert for what I need it to do... is there a simple way to add file IO? without goint through the length process or signing?
I need to be able to distribute this applet for use on many computers so computer specific fix's are out of the question.
What would be the best course of action? what should I transform the applet into? (if anything)
Thanks for anyhelp!

Based on your criteria, sigining the applet is the only way to go.

Ok ... if Signing is my only solution ... do I need to digitally sign my applet everytime I compile it? as im getting an error
C:\Program Files\Xinox Software\JCreator Pro\MyProjects\DealerNET\DealerNet.java:137: unreported exception java.io.IOException; must be caught or declared to be thrown
ReadDealers();
everytime I compile with my file reading routine included in the program.
