*******************
This is Kaffe, a virtual machine design to execute Java bytecode.
-This machine can be configured in two modes. In one mode it operates as
-a pure bytecode interpreter (not unlike Javasoft's machine); in the second
-mode if performs "just-in-time" code conversion from the abstract code to
-the host machine's native code. This will ultimately allow execution of
-Java code at the same speed as standard compiled code but while maintaining
-the advantages and flexibility of code independence.
+Kaffe comes with an own implementation of the Java standard classes,
+including the Awt classes.
Running Kaffe

This requires the setting of CLASSPATH, KAFFEHOME and LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
For the standard installation these would be defined as follows:
- CLASSPATH=.:/usr/local/share/kaffe/classes.zip
+ CLASSPATH=.:/usr/local/share/kaffe/Klasses.jar:\
+ /usr/local/share/kaffe/pizza.jar
