Re: J9 problems?

Thank you for answering. It is more or less clear, at least clear 
enough to see that it works perfectly now thanks.

However I have a doubt: how affects this changes to Thinlet's 
licence? Is it possible to distribute the final product for 
commercial purposes having managed Thinlet.java? do you have 
the "legal authority" to make changes and the resulting source still 
be considered inside Thinlet's Licence?

I could not see the modifications you tell me at cvs repository 
(http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/thinlet/thinlet/src/java/thinle
t/Thinlet.java?rev=1.13&view=log) is it because the are exclusive 
changes for J9/PoketPC?

regards.
