No worries, man -- cheers for replying! I think the 2nd hand LTO1 sounds promising. Looks like I go back to my boss & get a more exact budget! doug. Common sense is what tells you the world is flat.

We've got a fair bit - about 80-100 gig, at the moment. One possibility would be something like rdiff-backup (but for Windows, unfortunately). However, I have absolutely no experience w/ backups & hardware in general, so something w/out too much of a learning curve would be best -- I'm only a...

£1400? Whew... How risky would the SDLT option be, assuming it wasn't quite as dear? doug. Common sense is what tells you the world is flat.

Hallo -- I have been asked to look into backup options for a smallish company that currently has a single tape drive for its backup management. What's needed is an automatic system that can mostly be left be, so I was thinking maybe a DLT? But I know nothing of these things, so any advice or...

Cheers for the reply -- I may have phrased the question badly. What I need in essence is a class that will allow me to manipulate jpegs, or tutorials that show me how to do it, or both. Does anyone know of anything like this? doug. Common sense is what tells you the world is flat.

Hallo -- I need (rather quickly, unfortunately) to be able to write an application that compresses folders of jpegs to around 10% of their size. Is there a simple & quick way to do this? Like maybe someone knows of a jpegs for dummies API? Or a really good tutorial that even I can get a grip on...

Cheers, man -- that's perfect! doug. If I had a hammer...

Hallo -- I've written a small Java application which runs fine from the IDE (Eclipse), but which I can't run from the command line. The error I get is this: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: DirFlattener (wrong name: dirflat/DirFlattener) Could this be because I...

Thanks again, man -- and thanks Dian for the javac info! doug. If I had a hammer...

It's actually in Eclipse that I'm learning Java. However, nothing anywhere else seemed to give me the best-practice sort of advice I needed - the structure you suggest seems sensible. My concern really is not understanding the details behind what gets compiled & included & what needs to be...

Thanks again for that. Do you know where there is any documentation of this kind of this that I could read up on? Like I say, everything I've read seems to either assume you know this stuff, or I'm considerably dumberer than the articles'/books' demographic. (I actually strongly suspect the...

Thanks alot, Tim. Does this mean that the compiler would create the same directory structures automatically for the *.class files? And would I then simply need to place this structure any place I wanted to use it? & thanks again, doug. If I had a hammer...

Hallo - I've been looking into creating various control systems for our company, and really want to go the open-source route wherever possible. However, I have been asked by a developer associated with our company if this is a good idea for the following reasons: We will want to develop...

Hallo - I've read a couple of books on Java (but no real practical experience, as yet), but don't seem to have absorbed the details on package/directory management, and how these are deployed. What I need to know is, where would I put the files for my packages & classes in relation to each other...

Thanks alot - I'll get looking into it! Cheers, doug. If I had a hammer...
