LoadBar is a small Java Applet that loads files from a list,
and graphically displays the progress of the loading process.
The idea is that the files will hopefully be kept in your system's Cache.
Once all files have been loaded, it switches to another page, typically containing the big
Applet you wanted to show in the first place. That one should then load
instantly.
Full source code is included.
