Hi, Francois.  How are you?  I much appreciate your detail answers - and your 
most recent one above is no exception.  I much appreciate your hanging in 
there with me.  Unfortunately, I was into Delphi when I asked those questions 
and I haven't looked at Delphi since then.
 
I just need to finish my DOS based TP 6.0 product.  That, I have decided is 
the most important thing for me to do right now.  I thought Delphi - based on 
Borland's hype would be easy - certainly easier than the other alternatives. 
It is not easier and you may see from my other msgs, I am not pleased w/ 
Borland products any more.  Java looks much better and seems to offer more.
 
I just wanted to reply and tell you how much I really appreciated your 
replies.
I am not sure what I will do relative to Delphi.  It depends on what I learn 
about Java - when I have time.  You may wish to take a hard look at it too 
and what it offers you in return for complxity.
 
From what I have read over the last several months a lot of companies are 
backing Java to hit MS's strangle hold on the PC market - and they are Po'ed 
at MS in a big way.  Java is their way of hitting back according to the 
Fortune Magazine article I read.
 
With Java I can write apps that will run anywhere including under Win but not 
just for Win.  I like that.  Now to see if Java can deliver the goods.
If you want a free copy of Java check out "www.sun.com for Sun Micro's WEB 
site.  It is huge so it will take a few hours to d/l - even w/ a 28.8 modem.
