Right, however, I wasn't suggesting attempting to change the way the bank works. I'm saying that Oracle's JRE 6 worked with the bank while OpenJDK's JRE 6 did not. Perhaps as Oracle developed version 7, the necessary support for the OP's bank may have been incorporated into OpenJDK's JRE 7 and that perhaps he should try it to see if it works. Meaning: 1/ Stay with your current bank. 2/ Try OpenJDK 7 because you may be surprised and it may work as well as Oracle JRE 6. -- Chris -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
