Thanks to all for their help in parsing the Java class file format,
esp. C. McManis for his Java-based parser.

I'm seeing a few opcodes for which the alpha3 Java VM docs aren't
adequate. To wit:

1. Opcodes 135 and 255 appear in compiled code (such as the Java
   contest winners :-), but isn't mentioned anywhere in the VM spec,
   from what I can tell.

2. Opcode 132 is mentioned twice in the spec, once as the i2l type
   conversion instruction and once as the iinc increment
   instruction. I imagine this relates to #1 above.

Any pointers/corrections?
