Without any idea what sort of problems you're actually having, it's hard to know what one can do for you. There certainly isn't any "code out there" in the fashion that you mean, but there's plenty of help available if you're willing to give us some more detail, and if we can identify anything that needs to be fixed, such code might well be forthcoming. > Tim Pushor Orion Technologies Inc. -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.

Sorry to break in your conversation but I can describe a problem I see with JDK 1.1.1 (Linux v3). When I run some applications (ie. demo apps provided by SUN in JDK 1.1.1), I can "freeze" most of the demos by resizing (a few times) the window they're in. It sometimes happens by moving the window as well. In some rare occasions, I have been able to "freeze" my window manager (fvwm95 or twm). Hope it helps, Alex.
