Java is not a language that can anywhere near easily be compiled into a DOS application. The language assumes that the underlying platform will support things like rather long filenames, multithreading and a windowing GUI, which DOS simply doesn't have. While gcj itself should be relatively easy to compile on DOS, the Java *runtime* environment is very hard, and there's not much point providing the former without the latter. -- Hans-Bernhard Broeker (broeker AT physik DOT rwth-aachen DOT de) Even if all the snow were burnt, ashes would remain.
