Please do not uncompress jrc_nss.zip or jirc_mss.cab as it will break the digital signature. Simply point your browser to different chat*.html file, and the applet will be loaded. Remember that the *.zip and *.cab file must be in the same directory of the "chat*.html". Note: Some web servers do not recognized the file type *.cab and thus return MIME null or text/html to the browser and causing "Class Not Found" error in IE4 and some IE5. A quick fix to this installation problem is to rename the jirc_mss.cab file to jirc_mss.bin and change the name accordingly in the chat*.html.
