Since it is JAVA, memory is not that much of an issue...
But I agree wtih the typo/wrong def. thing...
What more is it, a simple erronious compile could be disasterous.... Ie. If it was
compiled for JDK1.2, instead of 1.1.x .... That would mean taht several users can't
access
it, but it will work on the computer it was created on...
