Well, I think it was retargetted to that, and renamed "Java".
OK, it was originally called "Oak". (I knew it was something like that.)
Observe http://www.ils.unc.edu/blaze/java/javahist.html which pretty
much implies Java was being offered for sale before Mosaic included the
<IMG> tag.
http://java.sun.com/features/1998/05/birthday.html shows that, wow, it
really was "Green" after all.
(Note these are the first two Google hits from "Java History" search.)
