What I am trying to say is that I am in a worse position if I tell the user to do something that doesn't work than I am if I tell them nothing at all (the status quo). I don't doubt that OSX knows how to keep the links straight, but it can't possibly know exactly what version of Java FOP needs. I went ahead & updated the "running.xml" document to include information on these two issues (filename truncation and JAVA_HOME). I added a "caveat" and the java faq link you provided above to try to mitigate the upgrade issue. I am not sure when the web site will next be updated, but in the meantime, if you want to look at the content, go to: http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/xml-fop/src/documentation/content/xdocs/ru nning.xml?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup Victor Mote --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
