Hi group,

I work on a java applet and I would like it to be compatible with the
old Microsoft JVM on Win2000 for example. Now the MS JVM doesn't
support some functions in the String library, like split() and
compareToIgnoreCase(). No problem, but I would like to know which
functions are not supported. I cannot find the information on the
internet and my compiler doesn't complain if I use unsupported
functions (Eclipse, set to compiler compliance level set to 1.3).

I think the Microsoft JVM is at the Java 1.1 level, although I can't swear
to it. Maybe you could do a Google Groups search on this newsgroup,
looking
for "Microsoft JVM". I'm pretty sure that someone will have stated the
exact
level of the Microsoft JVM somewhere in this newsgroup at some point in
time. Or maybe Roedy Green mentions it on his site, http://mindprod.com.
Try
going there and searching on "Microsoft JVM".

Once you know the level of the JVM, you can find the documentation for all
the old versions of Java at http://java.sun.com. I think there's a link to
"Documentation" on the main menu. In any case, it's not too hard to find;
I
manage to find old JDK docs when I need them without much trouble.

Another possible approach might be to do a search on "Microsoft JVM" at
the
Microsoft website. They may have the API for that JVM somewhere on that
site.

Great, thanks, I did a search on Google, seems that the MS JVM is at
the 1.1.x level. I have found this JRE including the docs for this
version in the archives on the sun website.

Excellent! I'm glad I could help :-)
