Bryan:

Because I can't make specific comments, I'll have to be more general. 
If a software company makes a specific fix and only one fix, usually
an end user doesn't pay.  If the fix is large and takes a few months
to do, it's usually wrapped into a "real" project as part of the
feature set.  How upgrades are handled will vary from company to
company.  Unix houses that I have worked at/with do this patching all
the time for "free" (but the customer purchases a service contract for
this).

Making small patches is inefficient and costly which is why most PC
software companies don't do it.

More specificlly, I still have more examples of inner classes working
then I do of inner classes failing.  Looking at your second example,
the error indicates a reference to an object b that I can't see.  You
say that the error is "b may not be initilized".  That usually occurs
if there's just a declaration with no value.  To clear that up the
change the declaratio to read type b = null;

There were threads going round and round on this one in the regular
lang groups because different compilers handle it differently.  Some
compilers make assumptions and just blast on by that particular code
item.

If you see something that looks like an opinion up there,
it's mine and mine alone.

Mail sent to me from the newsgroups won't bounce but will
be ignored.  If I have time, I'll respond, but you  have
a better chance if you confine your posts to the newsgroups
