I'm fortunate in that I don't need any features from 1.4, nor do I really need HotSpot at the moment. even if I did, I understand that Bill knows what he's doing, and I'd cool my heels using 1.4 on a linux or solaris box if I really needed to. things seem be progressing just fine, and I don't think badgering the developer is really the solution here. chris ------------------------------- Chris Doherty chris [at] randomcamel.net "I think," said Christopher Robin, "that we ought to eat all our provisions now, so we won't have so much to carry." -- A.
