To put that another way, why on earth are you
attempting to support Java 1.0, in this day and

Even if, there might be reasons...
Perhaps browser-applets that are required
to be runnable even on very old browsers/plugins...
The only 'old' (pre 1.3) JVM of any note that
might reasonably* be encountered in this
day and age is the MSVM.

It was the MSVM that I had vaguely in mind (having believed
it being even older).

Just that weekend I talked to someone, who asked me, why
some banking-homepage (with java) worked for his win98
machine, and why some other bank's web-access complained
about "non-existant or disabled java support" on the
very same machine without any reconfiguration inbetween.
My guess was, that perhaps the latter bank required a newer
version than he had installed. (he could rule out security-
zone reasons - he actually isn't exactly computer-illiterate.)

It's just for this recent talk that I even cared to answer
in this thread :-)
