It's a decent cross-platform way of delivering libraries compared to C libraries. We've been forced into Java because fewer and fewer credit card processing libraries are available as C libraries. Just yesterday, I ran into some annoyance because the PGP library I'm using doesn't allow recombining their .jar files due to signing. Which has some good and bad features, I suppose. -- Aahz ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "19.
