I get it.. One question though: I run the AccelX server from Xinside (v1.3). If I upgrade my XFree86, is it going to destroy my AccelX install?? Not a big pain anyways, I suppose, seing how the AccelX setup only takes a few minutes...

Just try running the Corel Office Suite for Java. Under FreeBSD or Linux it's unusable yet under win NT with Symantec's (or even Netscape's) JIT the performance is very good. Is Sun planning on releasing a JIT with the next JDK?? Hopefully! > >P.S. Are there any plans on supporting 65K colors in the interpreter?

Under Linux and DEC Unix, it just crashed out completely... It would be nice to see a 64K compatible JDK though. > -- Jake > -Mark --------------------------------------------------- | Mark Mayo mark@quickweb.com | | RingZero Comp. vinyl.quickweb.com/mark | --------------------------------------------------- "To iterate is human, to recurse divine." - L.
