I'd like to hear from any Mac users who have had sucess with the Compose 1.1 utility. I've downloaded it -- seems to require some Java application called MRJ (specifically something called "JBindery"). I obtained these Java apps, but have no idea what to do with them regarding "Compose." Also, it seems that the extensions put into my System folder by the MRJ installer are completely incompatible with Mac OS 8.5 (my computer refused to boot up at all until I'd removed the MRJ extens from the System Folder). Any experienced Mac users out there who have some secrets to share??? Thanks! kayma@iname.com

I don't think any mac person has been able to get this to work. I download the latest java and the jbindery SDK from apple, and I couldn't get it to work even then. I think the problem is that Compose uses some java features that aren't yet implemented in mrj. PV
