On [3] there is even a link to port for the ETRAX100 processor, but the sources date back to year 2001 and the README doesn't look promising. I won't say that you can't come up with a Java-VM that runs on the fox, but I would expect any VM to support all the classes from java.util, java.io, java.nio, java.net, java.lang.thread and still leave enough memory-resources to run something bigger than HelloWorld.java. Don't want to discourage anybody, but I don't think there will ever be a JVM+Java-Libr implementation that can match up to the WriteOnceRunEverywhere-Idea. The Fox just wasn't made for this, I think. Eberhard BTW : I love java as a language on my desktop system, but I know when I'm better off with "C" :-) ------------------------ Yahoo!
