Hi all,

> 4. jcontrol :- uses /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/control
> 5. orbd :- uses /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/orbd

This was my last week's mail. I'm grateful for Mr. tromrey's replies as he
has been nice enough to guide/tell me about the java-gcj-compat project.
Here's a listing of both the plugin & the interpreters it in feisty

This is just as an observation here. Nothing more, nothing les
