Neither >language is truly compiled to native machine form as I understand it! > The Java runtime system has included a JIT compiler for some years now. But yes -- that is not the "compiler" as most think of it. The invoked compiler produces byte-code. The JIT compiler proves useful if a program has sections that are repeatedly executed -- but one-time chunks of code take the JIT compile time as a penalty which could be more than simple byte-code interpretation would consume. -- Wulfraed Dennis Lee Bieber AF6VN wlfraed@ix.netcom.com http://wlfraed.microdiversity.freeddns.org/
