Dear Irigator, you have to be careful with semantics here... to me (computer scientist) "A sits on top of B" when talking about layers of code (or hardware, all the same anyway), means "A uses services that B provides to run". So given that JINI sits on top of Java (indisputable), and JENE is an implementation of Java (a JVM), I do not doubt a statement like "JINI sits on top of JENE" - it just means that JENE follows Java specs well enough for JINI to run. Where I think you are going a bit overboard is in interpreting this statement as meaning something like "JINI won't run on anything else but JENE". JINI will run on any JVM that conforms to Java specs - Sun would be shooting their own foot otherwise. Of course it is possible that Sun had to update the Java specs in order to make JINI possible (anybody know?) - in that case it would mean that JENE supports the modified specs. Best, - nic
