Trying the Japanese Solver, AGAIN

OK, ever since the history of time I have known about this one Japanese solver here:

http://homepage3.nifty.com/funahashi/game/game676eng.html

It didn't seem to work, but that may be because I tried to use it with useless-ass Internet Explorer. (Dear Bill Gates: I hate you.) It also uses Javascript. But now I'm going to try it with Firefox -- and test it with Miyuki's worst killer sudoku. Ha ha ha!

The simple instructions are:

1) Click on a cage button (like the one labelled "se01"). An asterisk will identify the active cage.

2) Fill in the cage value to the right of the button. Then, select the squares that make up the cage by clicking on the underscore in each square. (You can do this in any order, and even edit the cage value later.)

3) To start a new cage, click the next cage button (i.e., "se02") or click the "set next area" button.

4) Once you have all the data entered, you press "Solver" and pray that it's doing something.

And I've learned, it can't handle cages with more than 9 squares, and it can't handle non-contiguous cages. So it didn't work. I'll just have to try it again on a more normal samunamupure. When I'm less tired....
