Yes, not only that, but Kaffe is also in testing, which means that it has passed the "testing sieve". And also sablevm seems to be as good for my purposes as Kaffe. Both of them now are able to run programs like PPower4 (which is a program written in Java for making slides/transparencies with LaTeX in PDF). In fact, the state of Free implementations of Java is getting better all the time and I even got some free time to package ppower4 and put it on <http://www.ime.usp.br/~rbrito/debian/>. Comments on the packaging are highly welcome, as I am a newbie creating Debian packages. And, for those that don't know, installing the package free-java-sdk is a good way to have a Free software development environment for Java (together with Emacs's ecb, for instance). In fact #2, I only got interested in Java when Kaffe hit sarge. Hope this helps, Rogério. -- Learn to quote e-mails decently at: http://pub.tsn.dk/how-to-quote.php http://learn.to/quote http://www.xs4all.nl/~sbpoley/toppost.htm -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
