Henrik, Did you consider including a way for loadind a JESS batch file in JessTab at startup? I have used a workaround by chaning the following line in JessTab.java (after line 120): m_main.initialize(new String[] {"C:/MyJessDirectory/MyBatchFile.clp"}, m_rete); but some command line parameter would be the more elegant solution. :) Oliver --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send the words 'unsubscribe jess-users [EMAIL PROTECTED]' in the BODY of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], NOT to the list (use your own address!)
