Where did you get the NT version? The web site only lists
the Solaris port and says the NT version is not available.
John.
[Moderator: The NT version has only been announced to java.sun.com
mailing lists so that we can make sure it's usable before attracting a
wider audience. However, it was only announced to java-announce and
hotjava-interest, not java-interest, so if people only read java-interest
they didn't see the announcement. For them:
Announcing the Java/HotJava Alpha2 Technology Release for Windows NT 3.5
The primary goal of this Alpha release is to allow people to try the
various demos and to write their own Java applets. This Alpha
release of HotJava is not intended to replace your favorite browser
for daily web surfing. See http://java.sun.com/KnownBugs-nt.html for
a list of known bugs in the Alpha 2 Windows NT release.
Requirements for running Java/HotJava Alpha2 on Windows NT:
- An Intel x86-based machine running Windows NT 3.5.
HotJava Alpha 2 for Windows NT is known not to run on
NT 3.51 when audio is enabled.
See http://java.sun.com/installation-alpha2-nt-x86.html
for details.
- A 16-bit SoundBlaster. HotJava may work on other
SoundBlaster compatibles but we haven't tested any.
Also, HotJava does not yet support 8-bit audio.
- 8-bit color. Support for 1,4,16,24-bit color is forthcoming.
Java and HotJava are available without a fee for non-commercial use
(academic, research and internal business purposes). Commercial
licensing terms will be announced in coming months.
For instructions on downloading HotJava Alpha 2 for Windows NT, browse
http://java.sun.com/installation-alpha2-nt-x86.html. Note: these
instructions are not linked into the Java home page - you must go
directly to the installation html file.]
