Hi Dylan, > Let me know what your thoughts are on the thread I am having with Calvin > Varney about Java port install locations. Will do...

I'm not suggesting changing the port names. Only issue that remains then is that we have a conflict between the port names and the names mentioned in this document... I will give this some more thought. Perhaps I should just sweep through the pkg-comment files again. :-\ Your work is very much appreciated and I must say that I *really* like your approach. The documentation seems quite complete and useful already!!!! Kind regards, Ernst -- Ernst de Haan EuroNet Internet B.V.
