Not a problem.  It was obviously "just one of the things that happens" and 
believe me I've done things of that nature myself :-)

I understand.  Hopefully anyone planning to work at that level will see 
this thread on the list and know not to use those drivers.

I have very mixed feelings about moving to a Java-based server. I 
understand your motivation for making this move, but I personally prefer 
the light weight of the C version.

Every time I've coded anything in Java, it just seems to take five pages 
of source to do even the simplest things.  For portability, I vastly 
prefer Perl and have written some fairly complex applications in that 
language that truly are "write-once, run everywhere".  But that's just me, 
I guess, and it doesn't diminish my admiration for the work you guys have 
done one iota!

Aaron sent me some input on getting it going, so I'll give it a try.

Steve
