Yeah, I was just talking to some of my staff today about that. We are all developing in C# (and VB for older stuff) and had made that decision because they didn't know where Java would be. (I've only been on board for about six months.) Now that it is going to be GPL'd, we may make a better effort to support it. I have a lot of people on my staff with Java experience, so the timing would be right. -- kai www.perfectreign.com || www.4thedadz.com a turn signal is a statement, not a request --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
