Not so simple!
I wish I could, but I'm so heavily tied into Mizrachi that it wouldn't work. (I
sometimes wonder if I bank with them or
they bank with me.) I think that we need to put pressure on the public organizations
into at least being cross platform.
A previous correspondent, Chaim Gelfenbeyn, mentioned problems with Bank Discount's
Java package. I'm not surprised,
since Java applets tend to be very platform sensitive - browser differences, JDK
version differences, support (or
non-support) for Swing etc. etc.
The simple truth is, that we need to get our own act together - and this is no longer
a Linux issue. For the moment, the
closest thing to cross platform "standards" are exemplified by tools like Java, Tcl,
Perl. Of these Java seems to be
the best candidate for the matters which interest us.
The issue is not, therefore Linux vs. FreeBSD vs. Unix vs. Windows vs. Mac vs. .... .
It is open standards (not
necessarily open source), vs. the old proprietary standards bogeyman.
Although this is a Linux list, we would be sticking our heads in the ground,
ostrich-style, to tackle the problem as a
Linux issue.
I suggest that ,
1. We close this discussion here.
2. IGLU might either initiate or take a more active part in a list dedicated to this
specific issue.
