This is Java after all. You see, the whole point of Java is to have a block of object code (a *.class file) that can be interpreted by ANY Java-enabled environment (Be it Netscape -on ANY platform-, OS/2, or ick -I hope me writing this doesn't blow anything up- Internet Explorer)...Java is Java is Java, as long as YOU create it correctly. Your question is pretty much meaningless given the nature of Java, but I hope this DOES help clear up the issue for you. Java is compiled butit is not "linked" to the OS... The only real platform specific concerns with the language are that you install the correct Java tools to compile the classes. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew Short Colossians 3:23 ashort@concentric.net http://www.concentric.net/~ashort/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
