Yes, it does. I have done this. In fact, I used Netbeans to create a small Java program which a GUI that uses Derby. I developed this on Windows XP Pro. Netbeans created a "dist" subdirectory. I used tar (from Cygwin) to create a tar file from this subdirectory and all subdirectories under it (dist/lib). I then BINary uploaded it to z/OS. I used pax to unwind the tar file. I then used PuTTY to telnet to a UNIX shell prompt. The want that I have UNIX set up, it automagically sets the DISPLAY environment variable back to the desktop. Oh, I run Cygwin's X server as well. Anyway, my application worked just the same, although slower, as it did on the desktop. And that included creating a Derby database! So Derby also works "as is" on z/OS UNIX. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
