I agree totally.I am a new subscriber to this list and have been attempting
to gather as much info as possible from as many sources as possible. I feel
as though Iam biulding a very large jigsaw puzzle. Any effort to unify
these sources would, I believe, be appreciated by many.
Does anyone know if there is a single file that I can download which
contains the complete java reference on the sun server?
