Be careful here... OES is "almost: NW65Sp3 and OES SP1 is almost
identical to NW65SP4, but unless you specifically *install* "OES" when
you apply the service pack, you won't get the OES features. You will
just get "vanilla" SP3 (as in your case) or SP4. If you had installed
OES (no SP) you would be running Quickfinder 4.0 already, instead of web
search server 3.0. Clear as mud?

To my knowledge they are not using Java in QF 4.0. The Java classes that
do this are not any better than Novell's own code, in reality, and far
slower. QF is a speed demon, and they want to keep it that way.
