This is a repost of a message I sent to a different JBuilder group, but
I think it really belongs here.

I have two projects I am evaluating Java for.

The first is a user interface for an NT device driver. I would need to
do the equivalent of the Windows API CreateFile, CloseHandle, ReadFile,
WriteFile and DeviceIOControl family of functions. Is this possible in
Java? What level of contortion would be required? Would folks on a local
ethernet connection then be able to use this application from their
(possibly remote) desktop? Would it be as simple as pointing a Browser
at my app, or is more involved?

The second project is a port and version upgrade to a MIS interface that
needs to process data that is available from a DDE server. Same
questions as above.

Later,

Charlie.

I went to a restaurant that serves
"breakfast at any time." So I ordered
French Toast during the Renaissance.
