DESCRIPTION
=========== 

RGB Tester Applet is a freeware Java(tm) applet that lets you 
produce a colour from a red, green, blue (RGB) value. This applet 
is useful for finding RGB values for colours that may be needed by 
other applets. Clicking on a text field allows you to change the 
number in that text field. Acceptable values range from 0 to 255. 
Clicking on the "Test" button shows the corresponding colour on the 
canvas on the left hand side of the applet. If a number entered in 
a text field is out of range, it will be selected.

  
HTML CODING
===========
  
Place the following code in your HTML file to use this applet:

<!-- begin applet code -->
<applet code="rgbtest.class" width=440 height=140>
</applet>
<!-- end applet code -->

Following is a list of colours and their RGB values:

USING APPLET ON YOUR OWN SITE
=============================
  
To use RGB Tester Applet on your own site you must first
create a html document which references the applet. This code
can be found in this readme under the "HTML CODING" title.
The html document and the applet class file should then be 
uploaded in "ASCII" and "BINARY" modes respectively. A link
back to my site would be much appreciated.
