Er... actually, it's written in C++; the only thing I was thinking of using Java (or rather, WFC) for was to create a front-end shell, that would host the UI for keyboard redefinition, settings, etc etc. It'd also act as a host for the HWND of the display, when not in full screen mode. Nothing time-critical would be in Java - I mean, yeuck! - but I don't mind having the overhead of C++ for a disk controller :) Si (NSFMSFT)
