Listen - as yet another newbie - don't screw things up for me. This list has been EXTREMELY helpful to me and my work. The promptness and quality of reponse from this list is unmatched. These "gurus" have taken a lot time to give us a quality product and support for FREE!!!!! They are certainly not asking too much when they expect us to read the README.linux file. If you want more support then pay for it - although I don't see how you could get more support about java-linux than we are fortunate enough to get here. Steve, please don't let this get you too pissed off. It's taken all of my energy NOT to fill this reply with harsh (and four letter) words. I'm in great debt to all of you contributing to this port. Thank you for all your efforts! Robert Kanoza_D wrote: > Let me just put in my two cents as another newbie. It's a pain in the > a** to have to RTFM all the time.
