Re: Announcing JGNAT public version 1.0p

["John Merryweather Cooper" <jmcoopr@webmail.bmi.net>]

I wasn't SURPRISED that the M$ VM failed (it actually fails twice).  Just
curious as to how it would behave.  It wasn't a criticism of your product so
much as an observation that:  1) YMMV depending on the JVM installed; 2) the
M$ VM failed (given its long history of incompatibilities--not surprising);
and 3) the Sun JDK 1.2.2 had no problem.

I had some difficulties getting the source downloaded (can hardly wait to
get DSL).  But I've got them and I'll start work on an OS/2 binary.
