Hi Brett,

thanks a lot for your answer and pointing me towards the resources on the
websites.

It would be great if you could send me some of your code and the monograph,
i am glad for every example i have.

Another question:
How did you import the TMNav Source Code into your IDE? I am using eclipse
and am trying to import the whole TMNav project.

As it relies on Packouke and TM4J im am also importing the source code for
those two into the same project.

But i get something like 9000 errors, because the imports aren´t working.

Can you maybe give me a brief introduction how to import the sources?
Is there a JAR File somewhere from TM4J, that i just can add to my project,
which contains everything i need, maybe?

Thanks for inspiration and your help
Andreas
