Anyway, getting back to the subject of Java, the often vaunted claim that it's platform independent doesn't hold up. Frequently Java programs will only work as expected on a certain interpreter, on a certain underlying OS. With Java-originated applications, they nearly always need to specially tweak the programming to make versions that will be run on different operating systems. Trying to be vendor neutral can only work if you're the lowest common denominator. Using the few features that are common to most/all OSs means that you cannot make use of the special features only available on other ones. That makes for a dull and restricted application. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
