Two Problems with PTViewer

I ran into two java related problems with PTViewer. I've
posted them on java lists without solution so far:
o The large image solution for Netscape which I introduced in
version 0.7 works as follows: The OutOfMemory error that Netscape
issues in all java viewers is not due to the inability to read large
images, as I suspected, but the inability of Netscape java to handle
linear arrays of more than 4MB size. I now store the image pixel data
in a two-dimensional x/y array, and the problem is gone. However, a
weird new problem emerged: Several users stated that IE on win, which
had no problems before, can't read images online (offline works).
o The viewer can't be scripted in IE/Mac. Scripting works on any
Netscape platform, and IE/Windows. Is this a general problem
with IE/Mac? Has someone sources of a scriptable Applet that
works under IE/Mac?
Any suggestions welcome.
