Lars,
    In the past I had talked with you on getting some help with J# Browser
Controls. You were a big help and now it looks like I need your help again.

I explained to you before that the company I work for has been producing
electronic textbooks on CD-ROM that displays in Internet Explorer. With
these books have hyperlinks within the pages that direct the users to
Applets that allow the user to exercise some of the examples in the book.
These applets are written in Java using VJ++ v1.1. With each CD we supply
the msjavx86.exe file so that they can be run in WinXP. My boss wants us to
consider new tools in developing this type of work and target the newer
versions of Windows (XP.....whatever is next). We have the complete Visual
Studio .NET tools from our MSDN subscription, but my problem is which should
I choose.

Should I develop in J#, ASP.NET, C# or what? We very much like the look of
the Applets and would like to keep that look, but if we have to build
applications, they must be called from the hyperlinks embedded in the html
pages of the book. Is this possible? All applet development right now is
done using Visual J++ 1.1 (very old) and we use verisign to sign all the
applets. We want the user to be able to place the CD in the drive and have
everything run off the CD and not on the users machine.

Can you help with any suggestions??
