Thanks to Steven Barrett or providing the URL:

I reckon Steven has a good eye and that Matthais and Marcus have done
a really 'beaut' (that's aussie for EXCELLENT) job of programming
and documentation.

Although I am still trying to come to grips with Java, I have hacked
Matthias and Marcus' vt320 code about a bit and (using Preview Release 1
of Symantec's Visual Cafe) now have an hp2621.class which will almost
handle character mode screens with dynamic function keys from Quick.

Now that Wirt has 'set a date' for QCTerm's telnet functionality, this will
probably  remain a training exercise but if anyone would like a copy of my
development code, let me know off-list.  (I am really looking for constructive
comments that will help me learn how java *should* be used.)

I would also be interested to hear from anyone who can comment on:
a) the differences between Java 1.0 and 1.1
b) the capabilities and features of Java compilers including:
   . the standard SUN compiler
   . the HP port available on JAZZ
   . Symantec's Visual Cafe (the current version)
c) do any of the above, or others you have seen, have the ability to
   produce both Java pseudo-code and native (WINTEL).exe code?
d) and why, oh why, do Visual Cafe, IE 3.02, Netscape 4.0 and sun's
   jdk1.1.2 appletviewer all display my code a little differently?
