Hi Adrian, I hadn't heard about the problem in 1.4.2. Do you have any other information about it?

No actually Sun's classes parse the pac file. Unfortunately it really doesn't do it very well. Some commonly used functions are effectively no-ops but it seems to manage to work well enough in most cases. There is actually a similar API available in Java 1.3 but it's a different class with a different interface, another change appears to have been made in 1.4.2 which breaks the method Bruce mentioned (at least, it breaks it sometimes but not always). Needless to say, this is a very unsupported feature.
