public class QueryApplet
extends Applet
QueryApplet.java runs MPE program via Telnet and provides GUI front-end. This is a quick & dirty prototype, but it helps to "get the idea". It uses the Java Telnet implementation from the Java Telnet Applet available at "http://www.first.gmd.de/persons/leo/java/Telnet".
