Beautiful! Wonderful! My life is now complete! Wow, this is super - I just grabbed it and tryed it out; it all works like a charm. Now I never have to leave FreeBSD! And now I can poke fun at the linux folk about having a 1.0.2 on fbsd while they still are stuck with 1.0.1.... Much thanx to Jeffrey Hsu for this, I spent way too much time trying to get guavac compiled on FreeBSD; to have a 'real' sun jdk is comforting. Again, thanx for the effort (this goes to all involved in FreeBSD). I'll send my donation cheque as soon as I can scrounge up some cash, and maybe some day I'll be able to contribute to the collective! :-) cya, -Mark ------------------------------------------- | Mark Mayo mark@quickweb.com | | C-Soft www.quickweb.com | ------------------------------------------- "To iterate is human, to recurse divine." - L.
