Another positive for native code is when a jvm doesn't exist for your hardware. We all like to think that Intel chips run everything (except Sun, they think Sparc chips do). The same arguement holds for C++/QT, if it's not ported to your hardware. But with a little work, QT can be ported fairly easily. -- Bob Tanner <tanner at real-time.com> | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.mn-linux.org, Minnesota, Linux | Fax : (952)943-8500 http://www.linuxjustworks.com | Linux Just Works!
