[My apologies for the double reply, hit some key
combo]

Sorry for the late reply, but I'm working through
another backlog (never underestimate the influence of
Apple announcements on internet trafic)
I would just like to say that Java integration could
make for some very interesting synergies ; however, I
wouldn't want to export Revolution to Java (or Flash)
;
I think there's more merit in including Java and Flash
viewers inside Revolution stacks.
Java byte code would provide cross-platform externals,
but, far more interesting, Java applets might be the
way to add cross-platform external controls -- I for
one would love to use JTable inside a Rev project.
Maybe the engineers at RunRev HQ could take a peek at
the code in Mozilla to see how they added Java
applets?
