Anything available.

Thanks in advance,

I do not believe that it itself "needs to converted to
java"!

When the web was only html, 30 years ago, things worked smooth. Now
the internet is a bedlam with all those "active content" websites,
they are vectors for cruel cyberattacks.

All very good advice. But instead of using the evil data structure
HashMap you might find the named parameter indiom useful:

You are replying to an article from 2003.

The universal Usenet convention is to mark quoted text with "> " on
each line, not to surround it with quotation marks.  Your newsreader
should do this automatically.  It makes it easier for others to read
your posts.
