That's not exactly right. Come, now. :) Tomcat runs just as well on Windows and Unix. It's just that many developers love to use JNI or other whizbang things which equate to nonportability. Plus of course there are the limited-functionality Java profiles like MIDP. But I think Java gets the farthest in lip service to binary portability. :P --- Orlando Andico <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mosaic Communications, Inc. -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
