The real problem is that if that company also markets an implementation of the standard, there will always be forces within the company which view all other implementations as competitors. I don't believe that Fortran or C would would have been better off had IBM or AT&T controlled the standardisation process the way Sun are doing with Java. -- Chris Gray /k/ Embedded Java Solutions BE0503765045 Embedded & Mobile Java, OSGi http://www.k-embedded-java.com/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] +32 3 216 0369 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Terms of use : http://incubator.apache.org/harmony/mailing.html To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
