It is warned that the sequal is not directly related to the your question. However, hope that it helps your decision to move from the old stuff to the new stuff. The thing is that as you decideded to change your main programming language, why you don't turn to change your programming environment too. If you start to use Java, no more need to be dependent on one specific os. If you have any interest in my suggestion, please visit Jython (www.jython.org). Declrare that I have no relationship with the developement of Jython. -James Gold -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
