I had a wierd problem or two using the drag & drop method, so I just "Save
as applet..." which works quite well. What I found was if I selected PowerPC
only as the type of application to build, it just didn't work (if I remember
it quit without any errors, but no application was built -- or it might have
been an out of memory error). I might have had a problem with the FAT
building method too, but I started "save as"-ing and never really went back.
