RE: [Fwd: SecureRandom performance]

Hi Gary -

I'm not aware of any 1.1.8 for the OS/400, but 1.2 is available by PTF.  The
IBM service website is down (AGAIN!), but going back through my old CDs, it
appears that the PTF number is SF55645.  If you install it, afterwards you
should reapply the cume and the Java group PTF.

I think you use a system environment variable to specify which version is to
be the default version.  Someone else will have to give you the details on
that.
