Hmm, I just checked out (anonymously as shown on dbforms web page) and could successfully do a jar -tf on each file. Which do you think are not ok? On which platform do you have problems?

I uploaded new Versions of DbFormTag.java and DbGetConnection.java to the repository without those ';'.

That one is missing. Maybe servlet.jar was omitted because you normally will have a web container around. Isn't there any comment about that within readme files? If not, we should add it. I think if someone uses JDK131, also jdbc2_0-stdext.jar might be needed (not really sure about that, is it already part of JDK13?). > After that, i got myself the distribution files. > Ok. > My question: am I doing the right thing to get the latest version?

Thank you also for reporting your problems on the list.
