I am not familiar with the term "a navigator".

Running C code in an Applet is very very difficult because you must
arrange for it to be installed on the library path before the Applet
even starts.  You must also arrange to load either the 32 or 64 bit
version of the code depending on the browser and JVM.

See http://mindprod.com/applet/wassup.html
to figure out what you have.

I just about went mad trying to do this years ago with SetClock.

Just to add to the fun, every browser had its own proprietary tricks.

It is much easier to use Java Web Start. Then the run time
automatically installs the dll, selects the correct dll without you
having to do anything more than write a few lines in a *.jnlp file.

Your app runs outside the meddling browser, so if it works on one
machine, it will work on others.
