Guess I should hold out for the Solaris box that's supposed to be coming my way... it's currently serving time as a firewall, but we're getting an appliance for that and then it'll be out of a job. There's really no resistance here to whatever I ask for, as long as it's reasonable. We have another HP-UX box I could use for development-- so far it's just been easier to use my desktop which happens to be running Win2k. At home, it's Redhat 7.3, and I've been able to move things back and forth with no problems. I'm the only Java programmer in the department, and I've been left blissfully alone to play with all the new toys you guys at Jakarta have been producing. (I don't know if this would have happened anywhere but in academia, but they seem content to let me experiment and see what comes of it. Even when the Applet Experiment proved to be a dismal failure...) Thanks for your help and advice! I really don't want to get into building Apache and Tomcat myself-- I have enough to worry about getting my own stuff to compile and run. :) -- Wendy Smoak Applications Systems Analyst, Sr. Arizona State University PA Information Resources Management
