It calls dynamic linked libraries (DLLs), where the real work is done.
There are DLLs for the java interpreter (javai.dll), the AWT (awt.gll),
and so on.

The paths where Java class files are looked up are either defined in your
CLASSPATH environment variable, or if one is not defined, in the default
classes directory. The default classes directory is defined to be:
"<directory where the exe file was run>/../classes".

Ask Netscape -- I'm just a lowly Sun engineer.
