For some reason unknown to me, we don't have one of the most popular platforms on which people are trying to run Andrew (Sun4). Of course, it's very difficult to support a system on a platform to which you don't have easy access. That said, even after Patch.009 there were still problems with the dynamic loading for the Sun4.... there continue to be some problems in that area. That's the bad news. The good news is that Guy Harris is working on a new version of the class system that makes use of the builtin Sun4 dynamic loading support. This should, I repeat, should make most, if not all, of the reported problems go away. Hurrah for Guy! Just in case we haven't heard of the problems you are experiencing, please send some brief description along. Gary Keim ATK Group
