free programming language

[jwantz at hpcc2.hpcc.noaa.gov]

Hi Tom,
If he is going to program in Java on WINDOWS he'll have to use Swing.  
Things are much nicer running Java under Linux.  The only thing I don't 
like about Java is the case mixed method names i.e. 
System.out.println().  Speakup is much better than any of the DOS or 
WINDOWS screen readers because the default pitch change with 
capitalization is more pronounced.  Real nice for source listings!
