Hi Listers,

I have not stepped into this until now. I would hope that needing government 
contracts in the United States would have some affect on all this. I have asked 
people about swing and I am told it isn't used very much because there is newer 
technology out there. I am not an experienced Java programmer so maybe the rest 
of you will know more than I do. I know we use Struts at my building for 
creation of web projects. If I have just made a fool of myself, it's not the 
first time and won't be the last. (grin).
