However, according to the post, the port is kind of flaky, it doesn't run appletviewer, although it is robust to recompile itself correctly it is probably not worth trying Java Workshop under. When a new version is released that is complete enough to run appletviewer, or if the current version is stable enough to try to bootstrap a better version (perhaps using FreeBSD/ELF ?) then I will definitely try that as a base for JWS. Thanks for correcting me, though. ---Jake
