Absolutely. J2SE 1.4 java.nio in Sun's JVM was broken even on Solaris until the 1.4.2 release, causing me quite some grief when I tried to demo some code on Solaris that had been developed on Linux. The Win2k implementation was buggy as well until 1.4.1. That's part of why I think java.nio work should start on an experimental branch (another reason is that it allows experimentation with design changes). daniel --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
