In addition I've tried compiling my test program with Mico, and it doesn't work either. There's something going on here at a deeper level. The only thing is that the java server will work... Do you have any other ideas? I was going to try ORBit-2, but I don't think this will actually help, and is proving to be difficult to build because of all of its dependencies. Is there anyone out there successfully using orbit on Linux with Java running on Windows 2000? > - Dan > -- +---------------------------------+ | Craig W.
