The AOL software, or the JDK in general? We've have really good luck with your last binary release, although lots of AWT stuff is broken, and Swing components don't work at all. Is there any chance of the diffs being released anytime soon, so that those of us with Motif can create their own binary releases w/out these annoying bugs? (Replacing the LessTif shlib with the Motif version causes SEGV's, which is what I believe the rest of the article is about.) > Obviously, the java:awt port for FreeBSD based on lesstif-0.81 should be > modified, but I would appreciate if anyone could provide me any pointers > so I could have the faintest idea as to what the hell is going on here. I'm not sure what you're asking about. Can you be a bit more specific? Nate
