* Read a gif or jpg from the archive jar file, bypassing getResource
* broken in Netscape 4.x. we would normally just use:
* java.net.URL url = this.getClass().getResource("han.gif" );
* Image hanLogo = createImage( (java.awt.image.ImageProducer) url.getContent());
*
* @param gif fully qualified name of the gif or jpg in the jar file e.g. "han.gif".
*
* @return Image corresponding to the gif/jpg.
* You still have to use a MediaTracker to ensure the Image is fully loaded.
