RE: Animating bitmaps on openmap

If you plan on using the plug-in with Windows 98, you should plan on
installing it locally (unless you use 1.4). See the following:

http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4393067.html

There is also an open bug for the installer (which you can vote on to
let Sun know you would like it fixed).

http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4365954.html

Maybe OpenMap users should pool our votes--we could decide the highest
priority java bug for OpenMap, and everyone dump their three votes on
it. If we round up 56 total votes, we would elevate the bug into the
top 25 bugs! ;)
