(I > should've tried something that obvious sooner.) Yes. I can't decide if the simplest (to me) solution, just adding (for csh or tcsh) an alias, java->/usr/local/jdk1.5.0/bin/java is a good enough fix (it works) or if it's worth my time to hunt the bug down inside the jdk15 port. I spent some time looking about in there, I do think I could find it, but the testing time for something like this, it's just enormous ... maybe I'm being too perfectionistic. > > Regards, > > Brian Clapper, http://www.clapper.org/bmc/ > After any machine or unit has been assembled, extra components will be > found on the bench. > -- "Industry at Work," Oilways, n2., 1972, pp. 16-17.
