For information - especially in light of the postings re OS/2 and re Win3.x
This is information published on the Web from the URL below - or you can get
there from IBM's home page of course, http://www.ibm.com/. In addition to the
statements below about OS/2, AIX, OS/400, MVS, and Win3.x we've also said
that there'll be Java capability in Lotus Notes. Why Win3.1 - customer
demand actually, and, although it ain't easy, we try to give them what they
want. We're busy! ...Ian.

Java Environment Porting at IBM
<Image>
So Where Have We Got To?
In the latter half of 1995, a team led by IBM Fellow Mike Cowlishaw at IBM's
Hursley laboratory spent several months evaluating the Java environment. The
team initially ported one of the alpha versions to both OS/2 and AIX.
The Java environment for OS/2 and AIX
Today (26 January 1996), we are delighted to be releasing the JDK Beta1 for
OS/2 and JDK Beta1 for AIX.
The future
Work continues on ports to MVS and OS/400, as well as to Win16. The Win16 port
is proceeding pretty well. We have addressed the chief technical problems
(threads and long file names) by use of existing code and raw intelligence (!)
and are progressing towards the stage of a complete implementation of the JDK.
