that simplifies the build if you know what Ant is.

I don't know what Ant is (and have never used CVS), but would
love to find out (the head of my development team always
complains about me liking to learn new stuff...)

OK, if I understand correctly, I can just compile the java files in
the packages directory, and that should give me the necessary
class files. Just one last question: where to find the compiled
C++ files? These must be somewhere inside the existing
Interclient JAR file.

This is quite a lot of work, with possibly no real reward. I'm
considering trying to get hold of an eval copy of Domino R6, and
just relying on my tests working using its default 1.3 JVM. If C-
JDBC really does offer the kind of benefits it would appear, then
the savings/advantages it would bring to my web app _might_
justify the cost of upgrading the servers. I'll keep you posted if I
do get round to testing C-JDBC.
