Yes, No idea (never have used AIX...does it have a Java 2 port?), Yes,
agreed ;-) next, please send further questions to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (after subscribing)...  Answering the same
questions more then 100 times a day causes a system fault in my brain (it
must be running Windows and have poor memory management).

I'm only being nice and answering you directly instead of sending my usual
snide "can't you use the list" because you're a UNIX guy..  POI is tested
regularly on Linux by me.  It has been tested on Solaris before, but I don't
have lots of money (and hence own any) for Solaris equipment and am
unwilling to run the botched Solaris x86 (since its kernel sucks, and all
the utils I need are gnu projects, so why not just use a good kernel?).  I
think one of the developers tests it on Solaris occasionally (was that you
Rainer?).  POI does not depend on ANY gui code so it doesn't cause X to load
and hence it should run on ANY UNIX platform with a decent Java 2
environment.

Why is this answer so long?  Because I'm writing it for the FAQ :-)
