Steve Hazel, former freenetter (way back around 2000-2001), built this: http://codepad.org/. It lets you run code in a variety of languages in a robust sandbox. He doesn't support Java because the JVM insists on starting other threads, but he may have some advice for us about how to reasonably sandbox a javac process. If anyone is interested, I'm sure he'd be responsive to an email - his addr is sah at codepad.org Ian. -- Ian Clarke CEO, Uprizer Labs Email: ian at uprizer.com Ph: +1 512 422 3588 Fax: +1 512 276 6674
