It's not a bug in the applet, it's a bug in the web page that contains
the applet.

"\" is not allowed in URLs (see RFC 1738, chapter 2.2. "URL Character
Encoding Issues") and the path components are separated by "/" (see RFC
1738, chapter 2.3 "Hierarchical schemes and relative links"), so
"patch\TriangleCoonsPatchApplet.class" can't be used to reference the
file "TriangleCoonsPatchApplet.class" in folder "patch".

As far as I know Internet Explorer is the only browser that replaces \
with / in URLs.

If a browser requests the URL as it is most web servers will interpret
it as "file named patch\TriangleCoonsPatchApplet.class" which is
different from "file named TriangleCoonsPatchApplet.class in folder
patch" and most likely isn't available. So the applet in such doesn't
work with such browsers because the browser gets an error from the web
server when it tries to load the applet file.
