nope 1.2 aswell (and I assume 1.3 ????) Why ? Speed - accuracy etc. I compile close to 300 src files in about 4 seconds with jikes or about 90-100 seconds in classic compile. Jikes is also much more conformiant and picks up a lot of bugs/features that classic lets through (I think there is a compiler option for pedantic checking) Cheers, Pete *------------------------------------------------------* | "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want | | to test a man's character, give him power." | | -Abraham Lincoln | *------------------------------------------------------*
