We've talked a little bit about this; I think this may be the key here. The cross-platform core is precisely the same between platforms; the only thing that differs is a platform-specific launcher. It may make sense for us to modify the platform-specific launchers so that once installed, they can update the cross-platform core (a .jar file) from the InterMapper server if desired. -- Christopher -- ================================= Christopher L.
