Hi Clint

   I have looked through the jdk12.beta3 API source and it seems that
javasoft is trying to fix this problem. because there is some half finished
code, in the swing\preview with some hacks in it. More specific there is an
example called jDirectorypane which extends a Directorymodel class. So I
guess we just have to jdk1.2 final.

Jes, Denmark
