Sun Microsystems' Java/HotJava

An interpreted programming language and World Wide Web browser, respectively, that have ignited the on-line world as the best example to date of a universal OS. The Java language, which is loosely based on C++, uses interpreters to load byte code and translate it to local machine code. Any client, no matter what CPU or OS it's running, can access Java applications as long as the client is running a Java-enabled browser, such as HotJava and now Netscape. The environment presents the new est best hope to fulfill the promise of delivered-on-demand software that runs on streamlined, distributed systems. At p ress time, a number of leading software vendors, including Microsoft and IBM, announced they were licensing the technology.
