 Running Kaffe
 =============
-
-This version of Kaffe is not supplied with a copy of Sun's class library.
-This can be obtained from Sun's JDK package (from http://www.javasoft.com) or
-pre-prepaired in kaffe-0.7.0-sun.tgz (from the usual Kaffe ftp sites).
-This version of Kaffe uses the class library from JDK 1.0.2.

 Before running Kaffe it is necessary to configure the environment.
 This requires the setting of CLASSPATH, KAFFEHOME and LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
 For the standard installation these would be defined as follows:

-The source comes with a test program "HelloWorldApp" which can be found
-in the test directory in the distribution.  After installation, run this
-program from the test directory by typing the following:
-
-        cd <java source directory>/test
-        kaffe HelloWorldApp

-This should load and execute the HelloWorld application.  If all is well
-it will print "Hello World!".   As a further test you might like to try
-compiling the HelloWorldApp source.  To do this type the following:
-
-        javac HelloWorldApp.java

-"javac" is a shell script which has been provided to invoke Kaffe on
-the standard Java compiler.  If all is well, the application should compile

-What's new
-==========
-
- * "Just-in-time" support for the SPARC architecture.
-
- * New i386 Data General DG/UX port.
-
- * Various thread fixes, including addition of timeouts.

- * Lots of bug fixes (see Changelog)

-Who can use Kaffe
-=================
-
-This version of Kaffe is distributed under a Berkeley style license.
-Essentially you can use Kaffe for both personal and commerical purpose, on
-its own or as part of another package (see license.terms for full details).

-Kaffe Web and FTP sites
-=======================
-
-Kaffe is available from various sites.  The primary site is:

-Kaffe mailing lists
-===================

-A couple of mailing lists are available for information and discussion of

 The state of play
 =================
-
 Kaffe should run all non-graphical code which will run on a Java
 machine.  However there are still bugs and plenty of untested native
 library functions.  Some functions which are not currently implemented

-The missing bits
-================
-
-Awt
----
-One major missing component from Kaffe is an implementation of AWT.  Work
-on this is being done by others, and their current implementation can be found
-at ftp://slhp1.epfl.ch/pub/sawt-0.4.2.tar.gz.  I don't know what the current
-status of this work but you can check at http://slhp1.epfl.ch/sawt.html.
-
-Java.lang & Java.io
--------------------
-Although Kaffe can be used with Sun's classes.zip library, there is work
-to develop a version of this class library which is Sun's free.  This
-can be found at ftp://ftp.lantz.com/kream/kream-0.01.tgz.  Again, I don't
-know the current status of this work.
-
-Kaffe and Sun's Java
-====================
-
-Kaffe is a clean-room implementation of a virtual machine which can run
-Java bytecode.  It is capable of interpreting code generated by Sun's
-software but has not been derived from any Sun code.  Currently this version
-utilises Sun's freely available compiled class library but it is hoped
-that this will be replaced with a freely available version in due time.
-At the moment it is impossible to validate whether this software is
-Java compatible(tm) (the test suites are not publically available) and
-the terms under which this can be claimed are unknown.
-
-Erm, that's it ....
