Subject: Java for Macintosh

Recently, Java-support had been discussed in the context of various Shogi
servers. Below follows a tidbit about Java for the Mac. Hopefully, soon Mac
users can join in and play Java Shogi! Unfortunately, it will not do me any
good, being behind a firewall and all that :-(.


**Mac OS Runtime for Java** -- Apple has posted a pre-release of
  Mac OS Runtime for Java, which is essentially designed to put a
  Java virtual machine into the Mac OS. I can't honestly recommend
  this release to anyone but Java and OpenDoc fanatics, but the
  runtime does allow users to run Java applets in a stand-alone
  viewer and within an OpenDoc document. It runs on any Mac with a
  68030 or better and System 7.5. Apple says the Java runtime will
  work with the shipping version of Cyberdog 1.1 (due very shortly),
  but it doesn't work with previous versions, including Cyberdog 1.1
  betas. [GD]
