Hi Tom,
Thanks for your reply. It is a bit annoying that the classes aren't
documented. Especially as several pieces of writing I have seen written by
Sun people allude that the libraries are included with the JDK.
Perhaps then I should extend my question does anyone know of any freely
distributable libraries similar to the sun.net.* libraries?
And before anyone suggests that I wrtie some, I would love to, but I
suspect it would be a little beyond my current (low) skill level. :-\
Regards
Jason
