I'm in agreement. Distributions should always be zip'd -- JAR means that the zip file contains classes that can be loaded by a VM and run -- and that on systems with associations, a double click on the jar looks for a manifest entry and starts up a Java VM with a specified main class. Distro's do not fall in this catagory unless it's a self unpacking beast.... .duncan -- James Davidson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Java + XML / Portable Code + Portable Data !try; do()
