I could not get TYA to compile out of the box, as Nate suggested. This was becuase I had to set #defined FreeBSD in configure.in, as you suggest in your README. Once I had done that, I believe that it compiled fine. I am not a configure guru (by any stretch of the imagination!), but isn't there a way to do a "uname" in the configure script to determine platform, and then define #defined FreeBSD based on this? Also, with our new naming scheme for java, our JDK 1.1.7 get identified as the Byrne 1.1.7-vX, since java -version returns just "1.1.7" (as it should). So if there are any differences in the Byrne Linux port and ours TYA may not compile. Using "java -fullversion" correctly identifies the FreeBSD java version. Does this work on the Linux ones, and can you change the configure script to use it instead? I'm using: gateway# java -fullversion java_X full version "jdk1.1.7-FreeBSD:1998/11/5" Patrick --- Patrick S.
