I don't believe this is correct. I think it actually is the COMPILER that can cause a compatibility issue. There is an article over at Java World that details this problem. The first example makes it clear. http://www.javaworld.com/javaqa/2003-05/02-qa-0523-version.html? --- - Nayan Hajratwala - Chikli Consulting LLC - http://www.chikli.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
