Re: [Freedos-user] (no subject)

How can a .jar be run on Android or iOS? Android is built on some bastardized version of JAVA but AFAIK nobody has yet produced a fully functional JAVA Runtime Environment (JRE) for Android. As for iOS, Apple seems to hate JAVA with as much fury as they do Flash. Apple sayeth "#%#@ Flash and

Re: [Freedos-user] (no subject) JAR on Android

Hi! Actually Android is a modified version of LINUX with stronger separation of the directories between apps and other differences. App install files (APK) for example are vaguely similar to JAR, but with DEX (which you can decompile to Java) instead of CLASS files... Wikihow says, to use Java

I trust my mailman to deliver; he always has. Computers fail alot either from upgrades or they just die then I don't get my bill to pay on time. I'm old with luck I'll die before we all go paperless. DS On Fri, 27 Apr 2018 11:42:41 -0400 dmccunney writes: > On Fri,

I get paper statments for everything and they now all charge me for the paper version. The bank is $3 and the phone is $5 for paper. I pay because I trust paper. Computer software is in constant flux. One day it works then over night they upgrade and you also have to upgrade to read it. Some times

American taxes are very complex but at least we can still use paper. My tax return is 8 double sided pages. I'd sink if I didn't have QPRO to do all the math. America loves to copy Japanese and European ways, even when they're stupid. I hope this is one idea they take a pass on. cheers DS On

Re: [Freedos-user] =E-tax

I'm shocked at how many countries are doing it and I'm very grateful that the US hasn't. I have to admit that paper tax forms are getting very hard to get. The IRS really likes e-filing but they haven't forced anyone to do it - yet. cheers DS On Fri, 27 Apr 18 23:58:08 +
