HotJava supports applets written using the Alpha API.
Netscape 2.0b2 is (buggily) supporting the Beta API,
and so does the appletviewer that comes with the JDK.
Sun has promised an upgraded HotJava browser.
Currently, the supported platforms are Solaris 2.{3,4}
and Windows NT/95. Netscape has a more complete list of
the platforms it delivers Java capability to (IRIX? HP/UX?)
The Mac and Win3.1 ports are way off, due to inherent problems
in the way that these operating systems work (or fail to work).
For the Mac at least, there are weaknesses in the TCP/IP
implementation, the multithreading support, and so forth.
I won't even touch Windows 3.1.
Or maybe I misunderstood your question... ?
