Sun offered slightly more than we required by granting a large budget for TCK support when we only required binary access. Sun did this because they felt support was essential for success, given the current test suites and their design. It may be the first time I've seen Sun give more than they had to, and that's reassuring. There's more work to be done, but both sides are tired of fighting. I'm sincerely hoping for more cooperation. And to be honest, if this doesn't work, then all faith will be gone and we'll just bug out. -jh- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
