In my case, I use a precompiled fiw from old (the one from the website, I think). When running it with the 1.5 jre, the interface shows with a strange (grayish) look. When attempting an insertion, it hangs. >>>Somebody congratulate me. :-) >> >>Congratulations ;) > > > Thanks. But if fiw won't work at all under 1.5, it looks like I'll have > to revert to 1.4.2 for now. :-( We'll see. My solution is to specifically use 1.4 for FIW.

Everything else has worked ok with 1.5 here. _______________________________________________ chat mailing list [email protected] Archived: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.general Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/chat Or mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe
