HTC files would only work under Windows. Also, one issue with using *either* .NET or Java is it assumes that the person loading the CDROM has the runtime installed. So while Java is cross platform, it is not a guarantee that it will run on the target system, although the odds are quite high that a JRE will exist on the system. Andy.
