////////
1. Font smoothing is planned for {} in an upcoming release.

2. {} is not opened maximized based on customer preferences. Many
users have large display screens and do not like maximized windows.
The
application can be easily maximized if desired.

[how about save-window-size on close, so it reopens at the same size?
sheesh]

3. A separate package is required for each different OS because Java
does
not support the low-level network processes needed to perform the
trace
route.

I think I read somewhere that Java 6.x included raw sockets
support. ???????

And what is this??

http://www.docjar.org/docs/api/com/act365/net/ping/Traceroute.html
"Implements the well-known Traceroute network utility. The app
supports the broadcast of UDP or ICMP ECHO_REQUEST packets."

Is it a work-around using JNI?

Please let me know if I need to keep harassing the vendor. I wont stop
until I see they deploying a single .jar for all platforms. :)
