    Sure would be nice if there was a way to port the Navigator code to a more "Universal
    Binary" or something such as a JAVA platform that would be capable of running not only
    on a PC but on MAC OS X, or LINUX, LINDOWS, LINSPIRE, SUN, and many more similar to how iTunes is capable of running on PC's and MAC's.

    Now that there's more and more vendors using JAVA AJAX like Goggle Mail and many
    others, it makes sense to create a client capable of running on many different kinds of
    computers. Hey, don't believe me in how powerful JAVA and/or JAVA Script use can
    be..? Go out to http://www.tiddlywiki.com/ and see just how powerful one single

    "default.html" file can really be. Imagine the type of knowledge-base you could build on
    WC6 using this kind of technology combined with proper authentication security.

    And now might be a good time to research this since MS VISTA is only a few more

    months away and it's using AERO which is almost the same thing as Cocoa, the 3

    dimensional GUI core of OS X.

    Since Release Candidate #2 for VISTA came out last week it might make sense to focus
    in this direction so the new OS doesn't eliminate using existing WcNAV stuff on
    it.

    The next pending release of the WCSDK will contain new language interfaces, including:

    - Microsoft C# and .NET
    - Java

    and for the examples in the JAVA, we are throwing in the entire JAVA source code for the Wildcat! JAVA CHAT module.

    The original plan with the Wildcat! JAVA SDK was to make it exactly as you
    say, a JAVA version of wcNAV. So 100% of the WCJAVA SDK source and
    compiled classes is 100% around the virtual comm I/O that WcNavigator was designed on.

    Rick, we hear you!.

    We just ask for your support and patience as we prepare this new and
    exciting v6.1.451.9 release.

    Thanks
