Perhaps he is using some low > level Internet protocol for example. I'm not so sure about that, since he asks if they should switch to C# instead... Anyway, my point was to enforce good program design rather than a specific language. Whether they choose Java or C#, the access to low level functions has to be "wrapped" in some way. JNI if they choose Java, "unmanaged code" if they choose C#. In both cases they'll probably wind up coding in C/C++... // Bjorn A
