It looks like I'll be able to spend some more time this weekend on 
Java.  If all goes well, I should be in shape to start helping 
write (*gasp*) code instead of flame-bait.  :-)

Here at work we use RCS, so I've never used CVS before.  I'm 
hoping it won't take too much time to learn.  If I need a password 
or something, consider this an official request.

The next step is settling on a Java environment and some coding 
standards.  I'm using the free stuff from Sun, just because I 
stumbled across it first.  If the developers here prefer something 
different, I'd like to use whatever you reccommend.  Spending a 
coupla hundred bucks or so on software is acceptable, if it 
provides some real benefit.  Oh, and I'm using Windows 95, on my 
dinky little Toshiba notebook PC.  I can upgrade if necessary.

As for coding standards, is the code in CVS pretty much as you 
want to see it in terms of formatting, naming, and such?  I've 
found that a good assignment for new programmers is to go through 
and fix some of the nit-picky formatting and commenting stuff.  
It helps you learn your way around the code that already exists.

If someone has an assignment suitable for a first time out, please 
let me know.  Otherwise, I'll start with the the code & comment 
formatting thing -- hopefully this weekend.
