That's why I was asking. I don't want to take a chance of violating our license. But, what is the difference between actually copying the file from z/OS to my Linux desktop, for the purpose of compilation, versus making the jar files available via NFS exports on the z/OS system to the Linux system? Your point is well taken. Which is why I have not done anything before determining what is allowed by the license. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
