Yes, this is part of the problem. I found a solution. When I right click
on the link and select "save target as" it wants to save a .txt file. So I
saved it, and opened it, and sure enough, it contains code. So I just
changed the file extension to .jar, and double clicked on the icon. It
worked. I assume that you are going to add more objects. It appears to be
a great program for gettng a perspective of just where the DSO are located.
Thanks.
