I prefer the way Java lays out code (functions defined within the class, etc.). Unfortunately, the implemenetations of Java running around aren't the speediest unless you are running !FreeBSD. :-/ Granted, speed isn't needed for all things. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
