My apologies for the crossed wires: I'm away from base so my access is 
sporadic, and messages don't always arrive as promptly as one might wish.

And if it came over as vitriol my apologies for that also; frustration 
sometimes leads to this when things which seem obvious and apparent to the dumb 
user (me) look radically different to the developers.

That message doesn't appear to have made my mailbox, but it's excellent news, 
thanks very much.

I think this is more crossed wires, I'm afraid. I'm a user of Java 
applications, not a Java developer. I develop stuff that uses Java 
applications, among others, but I don't write Java (it's on the list to learn 
next year). All I was looking for was to know whether there would be an 
implementation of Java available that would let me run a commandline Java 
application like Saxon. I'm not looking for graphics, embeddability, APIs, or 
libraries, so I'm in a specialist minority, and it's sometimes frustratingly 
difficult to explain to developers the apparent simplicity of my needs, when 
they are justifiably much more concerned with more complex demands.
