I'm sorry to hear that. If I may make a suggestion: read "Calvin and
Hobbes". It's guaranteed to make you go to work with a grin. It works for
me.
Could you perhaps be more specific in how the Big Vendors(tm) brushed you
off? Perhaps they have a specific objection to Java being available on
FreeBSD? Did they just flatly refuse to speak to you?

Let's settle for "it's a difference". :-) As such, it may need to be solved,
because anyone doing even simple numerics on a Sun and a FreeBSD box is
going to be pulling his or her hair out.
*sigh* I can see the solution now:
#ifdef __FreeBSD__
switch(val)
{
case -3.5:
val = -4.0; break;
case -2.5:
val = -3.0; break;
...
}
#endif
