I'm a "heavy" Perl coder in Linux. I love regular expressions. I hadn't thought of using them in this context. Something to consider. Also, the current ibmjzos has a LOT more in it that when I first looked at it. It may have everything that I need to get going. Unfortunately, I'm now back at my previous problem of "can I download this jar to my PC in order to do my compiles (not tests!) using it so that management stays off my back"? I can get away with small test runs in the "sandbox". I cannot get away with doing compiles. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
