Hi and thank you to all concerned,
Before I close, and consult the doco you talk of (URLs welcome), can you exaplain what you mean by "whoever implements the JVM"? In this instance, are we talking about Apache/TC developer team? thnx G. Yes, this is correct. The important point, however, is that memory management is up to whoever implements the JVM. Sun does it one way, another vendor could do it another. This can, of course, also vary between OS's as well. justin --------------------------------- Yahoo!
