The use of LessTif was never something I wanted, since I'm aware that it's pretty buggy. If someone else is willing to send them the bugs, feel free, but for me I don't have the time nor the desire to do it. I've got enough other 'free software projects' to worry about. :) Nate To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the messagehome | help
