Re: adventure

 Well, if we have to use the com.sun.java.swing.*, that means we'll still 
be using Swing 1.1 Beta (I don't remember what Beta version java.awt.swing.* 
was).  Would it be possible to update the swingall.jar file in the acpub
directory with Swing 1.1, which uses the standard javax.swing.* package 
names.  That's the current package name in JDK 1.2  That way, when and if 
the JDK 1.2 is put on acpub, we won't have to change all our code.
