If you are running FreeBSD-current, the linux port of jdk > 1.0.2 works just fine. ^ ^ ^ 1.0.1. Sun changed the source lincense and the original Linux port author will, as far as I know from others, not accept the new license. The point in question is that a binary port cannot be bundeld with other software on a sold CDROM. Since Sun doesn't answer (my) other questions about their source license, I have to admit I'm not sure how far people can trust Sun's development kit to be on free platforms in future. I'm using alternatives (C :-). BTW, the last Netscape version that was able to run the Java compiler was 3.0beta2 and that expired some days ago. I'd submit kernel patches to make time() have an per-process negative offset, but that wouldn't make Netscape's cache problems any better :-) Martin -- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Martin Cracauer http://www.bik-gmbh.de/~cracauer Where do you want to go today?
