Hi Lord of the rings and thanks for the quick reply,

Sorry I obviously did not make myself clear. My hardware restrictions are because I use the Matrox RTmac for editing (Not supported beyond 10.3.3). And yes I realise that Java 1.5 is for Tiger but I have seen somewhere that you can run it on Macs with 10.2.8 + is this the case? Also, my original question was whether Java 1.4.1_01 was OK for version 4.9.23 or whether I should step down a peg or two?

Thanks again

Limie
