You're not in shape to run JDK1.2 -- I think you may be on RH4.something. You need a system based on glibc: RH5 or RH6 (I think RH moved to glibc with their 5.0 release, but I'll accept correction on that point). If you're willing to work with JDK1.1, you can get that for your system. Nathan C

Visual J++ is an IDE for Windows. Unless you jump through some hoops, it allows you to write applications that will only run under a Windozes version of Java. As far as I recall, Microsoft is under serious pressure to bring J++ into line with the Sun license agreement. So much
