It's sun's JVM, version 1.5.0_05. [I know classpathx is designed
primarily for free vm's, but I had no choice.] However, I don't really
understand how this could be compiled. [However, the classpathx classes
are compiled usig gcj while the application is compiled with sun's javac.]

Thanks for your help.
