such as pike :-) my petpeve with java is that it never delivered on that "write once run anywhere" promise. compare this to python, pike and similar languages which are always distributed by source, which actually do run anywhere because there is only one implementation of the language runtime, and that despite them being free software (sun doesn't make java free because it fears incompatible forks, and as a result it gets incompatible rewrites, go figure) greetings, martin. -- cooperative communication with sTeam - caudium, pike, roxen and unix offering: programming, training and administration - anywhere in the world -- pike programmer travelling and working in europe open-steam.org unix system- bahai.or.at iaeste.(tuwien.ac|or).at administrator (caudium|gotpike).org is.schon.org Martin B�hr http://www.iaeste.or.at/~mbaehr/
