Ok, you're probably wondering what I've been doing. Or precisely, why I've not been doing anything. Well, lots of reasons. But principally I've been working on some other non-computer related independent pursuits and also getting my house rehab finished off. But I am back to work and have an update on java.text for us. Basically, dates are now working. There are still some kinks and such that will have to be worked out, but you should be able to get some output, even if it isn't 100% right. Programs that depend on date formatting and parsing will no longer crash midstream. The following java.text classes should be working: DateFormat DateFormatSymbols FieldPosition Format ParseException ParsePosition SimpleDateFormat The aren't built by default so you'll have to compile them by hand if you want to use them. Daniel Rall is going to be helping me out by writing NumberFormat and subclasses (which have not yet been written) and Jorge Aliss is going to be helping by writing MessageFormat and subclasses (which have also not yet been written). I'm going to start debugging all the collation and iterator classes I have written. I'm also going to try to get through my backlog of email and bug fixes. -- Aaron M.
