-<H3>Overview of Java ACE:</H3>
-<P>Java ACE is a collection of Java packages containing classes that have been converted from the C++ version of
-the <A HREF="http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE.html">ADAPTIVE Communication Environment</A> (ACE). The C++ version
-of ACE is a large object-oriented network programming toolkit which contains over 125,000 lines of C++ code and
-uses advanced C++ features like templates.</P>
-<P>The goal of converting ACE from C++ to Java is to provide a portable programming toolkit with a similar interface
-and functionality to the original version of ACE. This allows new and current users of C++ ACE an easy transition
-to Java and also adds significant value to programming concurrent Java networking applications. Note that applications
-written using Java ACE can communicate seamlessly over sockets with applications written using C++ ACE.</P>
-<P>The following diagram illustrates the architecture of the Java version of ACE:</P>

-<P>The Java ACE architecture has fewer components than the diagram illustrating the architecture for the <A HREF="http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE-overview.html">C++
-version of ACE </A>. This reduction in size occurs for two reasons. First, the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) handles
-many of the portability issues provided by C++ ACE. Therefore, the OS adaptation layer is unnecessary. Second,
-Java doesn't support certain OS features provided by Win32, UNIX, and other OS platforms that C++ ACE is ported
-to. For example, Java doesn't support shared memory and memory-mapped files and therefore the memory management
