I agree with the conclusions. One point of clarification: Will the Windows installer retain the ability for the user to choose an alternate location for j602? One comment: With the addition to the Windows installer of an option to choose an alternate location for j602-user, paragraphs 4 and 5 of the conclusion would be simple even for users with no J experience. I'd be content for this to be left as a potential improvement to be included in a future version of J. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
