Java has 3 potential compilation paths: source->machine code source->byte code->machine code source->byte code->interpretation Whether or not it's interpreted depends on your machine's configuration. It beats me too. :( I think it works a little like Bob Durrett posted. "I think this is a good move." "You don't want to do that." "Why not?" "Because...hah." "That was my favorite piece." "And now I have your rook, too." "I hate you." -Matt
