Dear Sam:
Err, Ahh, I did miss that note at the bottom of the page. Perhaps I'll
quest
for knowledge with Sid without re-compiling everything for a while.
I did manage to get myself in trouble relatively easily over the ibm
jdk and
I think I'll puzzle that one out for a while without pulling the rug out from
underneath myself quite yet.
