I thought I'd tried this, but I'll give it another shot... for the minute I'm just not using ZIPs, but I'm kindof scared that this will crop up again elsewhere. Regardless of the method used, I can't get it to read the full Classpath file. Any suggestions as to what I can do to find out why? >As to the general problem I'm afraid I'm not much use.

I'm sure that the irony of the creator of a Java VM not actually using Java isn't lost on you! ;-)
