It is as simple as pointing and clicking. But there is a more fundemental issues here when it comes to Unix vs. Windows, which this news group is not the right place to discuess, so I'll stop. As far as Java momentum slowing: NO. It is not. It is increasing. More and more new software is being done in Java every day. The new Oracle 8i db many consider to be just a huge Java engine, with a new filesystem written entirly in Java based one what I read. Thanks God, C and C++ are dying and going away (at the application level). At least the world in moving to a new language, too bad it is not Ada, but at least, for the software world who is interested in a better quality software, we are lucky that the new language the world has decided to love, is really a better quality one than the earlier ones. And now, since the world seems to have awaken that there something out there other than C and C++, may be Ada now can come in and say, "Look at me too!". Bob
