I tried to use your version: command, but couldn't get the version label correct to match what I have. But what is exceptionally helpful is that you got the program to run with your Java, which is older than mine. I think I can now safely forget about installing more/different/newer Javas. It is entirely possible that the problem lies with Ubuntu, but bear in mind that the person who wrote the app is an amateur who wrote it on Windows and just assumed that it should run on other platforms because it is Java. He never tried it on any other computers. He has already had feedback from other users revealing other bugs. If it's possible that the problem is in his Java code I would rate that as a more likely source of the problem. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
