The beautiful thing about all the Java stuff is that you're damned to keep various versions in parallel. Jave beats Micro$oft when it comes to incompatibilities between releases. At the time a Java applications is developed, there is a specific Java release that is being used and the application will very often only run with exactly that release. -- Peter Hunkleler Credit Suisse ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
