Morning Howard,
(it must be *early* morning in Sydney !)
>> I *really* appreciated all that Norman. Cheers :-)
Welcome !

We won't go there - I don't do football on the grounds of being Scottish
:o)
>> And anyway: who writes man pages? A dyslexic Professor of

I believe that's the one - and I think he's also blind. Man pages are
bloody awful, however, under KDE and using Konqueror, I believe you can
type in man:something and have a nicely formatted man page displayed in
the browser, rather than having to try to decode the flashing multi
coloured text in the terminal window. (it could be man:something or
man://something - I forget and I'm nowhere near a Linux box !)
<SNIP stuff about blackdown>
One of our developers here wanted to see if we could run our application
on Linux, so he installed it, and Oracle 9.0.1 - he didn't install
Blackdown or any other Java, just the stuff that came with the Linux. If
I remember correctly it was probably Red Hat 7.x but I'm not sure.
<SNIP>

Yippee !
<SNIP>But now I'm confused, because the doco. says Blackdown is

Probably /usr/bin/java - it's what comes up as the default for an Oracle
9i install anyway, and I've always accepted it. Check it and see if
there's anything in there I suppose.

No registry in Linux :o) Loads of filenames with leading dots though,
all over the place ......
>> I'm still encountering odd problems (such as

and

I've had that in Windows myself - but then I stopped using EM on the
grounds of Java :o)

Google is a wonderful place. Run on a myriad of Linux boxes of course.
The problem is, getting the query correct !
>> Thanks again Norman for the hand-holding.
Welcome again.
Cheers,
Norman.
