I am fine, thanks. I replied your several emails just after I returned
last week.

I do not think that you need to rebuild the ANTS jar file for either
Solaris or Accelar. And, I expect that you still use JDK 1.1 to maintain
the Java compatibility. As you know, the Accelar is provided with JDK
1.1.7 that may not run any Java code recompiled using JDK 1.2.

To set up the ANTS on Solaris and Accelar, you only need to change the
configuration files. I wrote a brief document
(http://www.openetlab.org/downloads/README.ore-ants). You can also find
those READMEs built in the package (going over directory by directory).

Do not be nervous! The guys at TISLAB made the setup by themselves.
However I will be near your hand if you have any questions.

Thanks,
