This is a very quick port of Kaffe 0.5p1 a public domain 'untainted' (i.e., not derived from the SUN source) Java VM. It is also a JIT compiler but for obvious reasons that doesn't work :-) It certainly runs the HelloWorldApp provided which is something you have to admit, but beyond that who knows :-) The only thing that definitely will not work is anything clever involving threads as thread support is essentially crippled (= commented out). enjoy simon lewis -- simon@dlib.com The Kaffe FAQ is at http://web.soi.city.ac.uk/homes/tim/kaffe/faq.html
