Hi Pedro ! Am not sure, if I already wrote a reply ... Or if it went to /dev/null. Would it be possible, to build an Amaya port without that Java version, first ? Only to get this beast running ? A build option could later include Java on demand ?! Everybody is talking about amaya on Linux and Win95 and we don't have even a port ;-) Therefore I asked if someone could take the time ;-) Andreas /// -- Andreas Klemm | klemm.gtn.com - powered by Symmetric MultiProcessor FreeBSD http://www.freebsd.org/~fsmp/SMP/SMP.html http://www.freebsd.org/~fsmp/SMP/benches.html
