459.0. "Java Compiler for DEC MLS+?" by SMURF::BAT (Segui la tua beatitudine) Wed Mar 12 1997 14:45

Subj:	Java Compiler for DEC MLS+

Barbara, 
 
Is there a known port of Java for DEC MLS+ 3.1 (OSF1 v2.0)?  We already  
have that port done by the "Open Group Research Institute", which will  
NOT run on DEC MLS+, since the executable format is too new.  Apperently  
DEC MLS+ is in the OSF1 v2.0 format.   
 
Also is there a port of Java to DEC MLS+ v4.0? 
 
 
BTW, I took that OSF1 3.2 port and tried to report it to DEC MLS+ 3.1 
and it works 95% od the time!  (Got some asychronus GC problem). 
 
	-Chris

459.1no on V3.1A, yes on V4 MLS+SMURF::BATSegui la tua beatitudineWed Mar 12 1997 14:5250
    Hi Chris,
    
    Looking at the JAVA notesfile, it doesn't seem as though a port was
    done until last summer, which means that no, I don't believe there
    is a Java for OSF V2.0 (MLS+ V3.1A kernel is based on OSF V3.2B,
    the libraries, etc., are OSF V2.0, with some selected backported
    fixes sprinkled about.)  I can post an inquiry if you need it.
    
    I haven't checked the following for accuracy of location, but can pull
    the stuff if you cannot.  
    
    In purusing other topics discussing Java on OSF, there was some mention
    that Netscape in the JDK did not work on OSF V4.0A (if I read it
    correctly).  MLS+ V4.0A is based on OSF (DIGITAL UNIX) V4.0A, with some
    fixes backported from V4.0B, of which I believe one is the Netscape
    fix.  (At least there are people here running the latest Netscape on
    their MLS+ V4.0A boxes.)
    
    Regards,
    BAT
