I got them off ftp://ftp.swarm.org/pub/swarm/binaries/w32/2.1.1-fixes/ at
the same time:

 Directory of C:\Swarm-2.1.1\bin

11/08/00  02:45p            10,620,848 libkaffeswarm.dll
11/08/00  02:59p            10,995,943 javaswarm.dll

 Directory of C:\Swarm-2.1.1\share\swarm

11/08/00  02:42p               348,617 swarm.jar

Apparently, I must be using a strange version of Globals.env, 
since JBuilder2 says that the options are: 
FArgumentsImpl()
FArgumentsImpl(Zone p0)
FArgumentsImpl(Zone p0, Selector p1)

The documentation at
http://www.santafe.edu/projects/swarm/swarmdocs/refbook-java/swarm/defobj/FA
rgumentsImpl.html says
FArgumentsImpl(Zone aZone, Selector aSel, boolean javaFlag) 

So I extracted FArgumentsImpl from my swarm.jar

10/01/00  12:27p                 1,930 FArgumentsImpl.class

I tried to run javap on it, and got:

C:\Swarm-2.1.1\swarm\defobj>javap -verbose FArgumentsImpl
Error: Binary file 'FArgumentsImpl'  contains swarm.defobj.FArgumentsImpl

What kind of error is that?
Of course it contains FArgumentsImpl.  It's supposed to!

The javap example at
http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.1/docs/tooldocs/solaris/javap.html
works fine.  So much for javap.  Or is that happening because of the
objective C?

So I tried strings, and found:

...swarm/defobj/FArgumentsCImpl
(Lswarm/defobj/FArguments;)V
7(Lswarm/defobj/Zone;Lswarm/Selector;)Ljava/lang/Object;
...

So is it the correct version?

I even looked at the source code in swarm-2000-10-01.tar.gz but the closest
file: FArguments.m and .c did not seem helpful (maybe I don't know what I'm
looking for).
