There is most likely someone else who knows it better than me but I have dabbled in it a *little bit*. It's likely I can't answer your questions immediately but I need to learn this stuff anyway so if nobody else has offered to help I can give it a try. I do qualify for your license issues, I've downloaded a lot of Java related stuff from SUN to install for use here in the Department. -- Ken Smith - From there to here, from here to | kensmith@cse.buffalo.edu there, funny things are everywhere. | - Theodore Geisel |
