The Java API version 1.1 also doesn't have Vector.add() The
java.util.List-based names for Vector functions were only added with the
advent of the Collections API in 1.2. I'm guessing, then, that you only
think you are doing that, and that you aren't really doing it at all.

When I said Microsoft is short a few APIs from 1.1, I didn't mean
something so fundamental as Vector. I think I recall something about
RMI, something about JNI, and something about minor details of
reflection.
