It's not so hard to type 'java Class'...... I like my users to be aware that they are running through an interpreter, and that there are command line options to the interpreter. BTW, there's no such thing as a 'java binary'. It's just a bytecode class file that has to be interpreted. > > Adrian Chadd > <adrian@psinet.net.au> > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark Mayo mark@quickweb.com RingZero Comp. http://vinyl.quickweb.com/mark ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nature shows that with the growth of intelligence comes increased capacity for pain, and it is only with the highest degree of intelligence that suffering reaches its supreme point. -- Arthur Schopenhauer
