Hi,

Hopefully I will not get flamed for my questions.  And, if you are planning
to flame me, please keep it to yourself.  I don't care to know, that I don't
know, and you know more!

I am a bit new to Java.  I decided to subscribe to this daily mailing to try
to find out more about Java.  I am finding some of the topics hard to
follow.  I am a Windows and Linux user.  And, understand that Java is only
available for Windows NT and other platforms and the Windows '95 version is
expected to be released soon. 

Question #1

Is there a version of  Java that works with Linux? Windows 3.1? Windows '95?

Question #2

Where can I get the FAQ on Java?

Question #3

Specifically, how will Java benefit someone whom does a lot of HTML authoring?

I understand that HotJava has a lot of neat features that can be used with
WWW creations.  Some effects are already poping up on some home page
creations.  Namely, 3D and movable icons.  Where can I learn how to create
these effects.  Indeed, the 3D effect will provide all kinds of interesting
applications for the WWW environment.  

Question #4

Is there a beta version of Java I can download to use?  

I would appreciate if you could email me answers to these questions.

Thank you, 

Bob Hiscock
