Hello -
I think this information might make some of you very, very happy. It
made me very happy. I thought I should pass it along immediately, and
hopefully save some people a whole lot of aggravation.
While the official release of Java 1.0.1 is "a couple of months away"
according to Tom Ball (Java Products Group), it seems that Borland has
gotten a newer awt.dll (and some other Java binaries) than 1.0. This
newer version has fixed the repainting problems for my Java
applets/stand-alone apps and I certainly would assume it'll do the
same for you. So...
Go to the Borland Debugger homepage:
http://www.borland.com/Product/java/debugger/bugform3.html
fill out their little form and get their Borland Debugger (I DON'T
CARE IF YOU DON'T WANT THEIR DEBUGGER, YOU **WANT** THE NEWER JAVA
DLLs and such that come with the debugger).
To install the new DLLs and all, just copy the Borland self extracting
archive to your Java directory and run it. When it asks you to
over-write the old files (like awt.dll) say "YES!!!!" That should be
that. You may want to try out the debugger... it's a nice start.
Anyway, that's all...
I wish everyone the best of luck... have fun. It's only Java, ya
know?

P.S. - To those who got this via e-mail, I just picked your names off
newsposts that related to repainting problems, I figured you'd like to
know about this as quickly as possible... I apologize if your
religion forbids you from receiving group mailings...
