Hi Robert

        I was wondering if you received my last mail, with the new version of
java2html (in order to hardcode the source root path), and asking
whether I could put the link to your examples in the html of
Source-highlight.

        I wrote again, because I haven't received your answer for a long time.

cheers
        Lorenzo
