We can get plenty of help currently on Java scripts/apps on the client side, so I would prefer to see how I could leverage Java as a language on my HP 3000. Here are some issues that come to mind at this time: -- Status of the Java port to MPE (availability, costs, support issues) -- Java IDE for MPE? -- Where will Java apps run, in MPE, Posix or both? -- Class development to cover the basic MPE objects: -- Image/SQL -- Allbase/SQL -- KSAM -- MPE flat files of various types -- Intrinsics -- Use of Java classes for socket i/o, both as client and server -- How to connect Java server apps up to a www server Duane Percox (QSS) [log in to unmask] (v:415.306.1608 f:415.365.2706) http://www.aimnet.com/~qssnet/ ftp://ftp.aimnet.com/pub/users/qssnet/ Don't miss the 'Land of QWEBS'... http://qwebs.qss.com
