How to I open downloaded compiled class files to study program format?
Download a java decompiler to view class files, butthat won't help you with program format, since thedecompiler will generate the code. The best way is to study.
Let me rephrase this...When I find an applet I like, and want to see "what makes it tick"...is there a way to download it and access the source files?
I think you missing a point somewhere a long the line.
