[Cxtable-devel] A better place to discuss...

[Williams, D. <DAV...@ca...>]

Borne,

Well..I think the list is where we should discuss...as my ability to get my home email from work decreases with each passing day...

I am glad you like the overall design...I did work rather hard on it...

The XML thing... Here is a basic question for you...  Do the DTDs/Sax/etc thing (and yes, I was a lurker for over a year on XML-dev...so I know what you mean)... is such an overhead necessary, though??

Anyway.. xLineSplit is the class that handles the "splitting" of tags, etc... is there any reason to think that the current piece of code doing it is in-efficient?  Anyway...when you get a chance to look at it, by all means...

Another thought was RMI...is it necessary?  would it be useful?  And at the same time, eventually I had hopes to port the whole thing to C (another learning project..)...and I wonder how useful RMI would be at that point...

You had mentioned the beta for JDK1.4 on Linux... that was an interesting barf in and of itself... as the JDK1.3.1_01 threw a Native Exception at the Motif libraries.... the 1.4beta actually threw an exception when it went to add the WindowListener to a Frame...  Perhaps this was because I referenced the Frame variable within the anonymous WindowAdapter()... so maybe a little fix and tweak would work....but it seemed odd that between 1.3.1_01 and 1.4beta they would have broken something so entirely...

Perhaps I should bite the bullet and buy another Mandrake install disk for $2... (My first one was cracked by my 3yr old)...  


Regarding the deltas... yes...however... I sent you them all (not just the files that were changed...  it is entirely possible that at that time of night when I finally got the fix working, I missed one of the files that I might have touched...)  

Are you creating an entire CVS-tree there, and then synching it?

Do you require administrator rights to do that?

And, I still can't get CVS working on Windows... I am sure I can get it working under Linux...but my Java _sucks_ there...and I don't want to have to check out the file under my Linux part, save it to floppy, reboot, read it from floppy, edit it, save it BACK to floppy, reboot, and then send it back to CVS...

Is there any version of Java that does not use Motif? (I am pretty sure that my issues with it are directly related to its use of Motif...and potentially some libraries that might have bugs and/or are missing)

Should I just try a re-install of the JDK 1.3.1_01 from the RPM I have, and see if that fixes it?

PS-Look for another e-mail...
