I have done a great deal of thinking about the matter, and I have concluded that with some work the effort is feasible: everything that Beta does, Java can somehow manage. Unless I hear strong objections, I will be releasing various Loki Papers explaining my view of the Loki Project onto this mailing list/newsgroup. They will also be posted on the Web at http://www.ccil.org/~cowan/beta . I should add that I have no connection with Mjolner Informatics. -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan cowan@ccil.org You tollerday donsk? N. You tolkatiff scowegian? Nn. You spigotty anglease?
