The jar file must be defined in the <applet> tag. Now most browsers don't
support multiple archives, so there are two way around this:

1) unpack postgresql.jar, so that the postgres directory is in the same
directory as your applet.

2) unpack as in (1), but then repack the driver and your applet into a new
.jar file, and refer that in the <applet> tag.

Applets don't have access to environment variables.
