It appears that the guy who wrote the orginal
message has NO CLUE what Java is about.<br><br>It is NOT
about fancy pixel mapped graphics. If you need to do
OS/Hardware specific tasks, then C or assembly language is
the thing to use. I love Java, and I STILL would
write that type of thing in C (being a guru or
not).<br><br>Java is not for all applications development, but like
bvs_sv_ni said... Write a JNI interface and call a native
language routine from Java.<br><br>Stephen
