Re: Differences between Unix and Windows Kawa?

I'll do that. I was quite careful about the FTP modes though, so I don't
think it is file corruption. Just now, I tried copying just the new
ModuleExp.class from the Unix machine and inserting it into the original
distributed 1.6.94 jar file on the Windows one. A jar t listing shows that
it's in there in the correct location, but this time, when I tried running
Kawa from the amended jar, it returned immediately to DOS: no messages.
It's quite puzzling.
