Hmmm, well I used to work with the author of JamVM (Rob Lougher) and he's one of the brightest guys I know. I think you'll find that the low LOC figure is testament to his ability to write lean code rather than an indication of how easy it is to knock off a JVM on a wet Sunday afternoon. BTW has anyone asked Rob about donating JamVM to Harmony? As the (currently) sole owner he should have no problem with switching licenses. Cheers, Dave
