what he is trying to say, I think is this: Support is what you are *not* paying for, hence it comes down to what little or much people around here are willing and able to provide. C'mmon, you got java developers (or even are one) I am sure, just fix it yourself. PIO should have saved you enough time to do it.

This is a specific problem and I tried to provide as much info on it as I could. If you need more info, I would be happy to get it to you. It just seems that nobody even looked at the problem so far. It could be a simple fix for someone familiar with the code... If you really need a test setup and will use it, please provide me with more details. I am not a decision maker, but will have to present this to people. Thanks, Elvira. -----Original Message----- From: Andrew C.

I've asked for this for awhile and I've only heard murmurs of volunteers and no takers. We could really use automated testing on systems other than Windows and Linux. I know a number of people who use POI on solaris without trouble but I've heared murmurs about problems on various Mainframes and minis. >I really need this resolved. > The best way to get things done urgently and for "free" is to provide patches which resolve the issue. Since the project is run on a volunteer basis, things get fixed "when we have time". Currently, when not treking around the country, I myself have been working on a number of client-funded POI projects and haven't had time to work on much else.
