If you "ls -l" your JDK source tarball, it should be precisely 19742229 bytes. If you have any other size, I think you may have downloaded the wrong sources.

That should give you the correct sources. Look for the 19MB tarball. Let me know how it went. Kees Jan ================================================= TV is the worst of both worlds.
