Hi

I know it's old, but I just wanted to run it to try it out. HotJava Browser 3.0 seemed to run time ago.

Today I'm trying to run it with OpenJDK 1.6, but I only get the splash logo.
I'm trying:  java -cp browser.jar sunw.hotjava.Main

Regards

Hi Martin,
this browser requires the old Java version 1.1. With that, it runs.

I've created a small startup script that should make the launch successful. In the startup script, the program path and possibly the installation path for Java 1.1 need to be adjusted.

The second script is also called from the program directory and creates a program icon for my script on the desktop.

Regards,
Peter

Hello.

FYI: I'm comparing the Java apps that runs in OS/2 from Hobbes Archive to the GFD repository. (http://cyberia.dnsalias.com/Gfd.App.Java.Htm).
I'm uploading somethings that I found missing on hobbes. If you find any other Java application that may be missing on hobbes just let me know.

FYI

I uploaded to Hobbes these Java games.
- Colossus_2005-03-01.zip
- Cribbage_2-04.zip
- JavaSolitaire_1-3.zip

If you have any other Java app that runs, that can be uploaded to Hobbes, just let me know. (post it here or contact me)

Regards

Hello

Does anybody knows how to use an Apple I ?? just to see if this emulator works.

http://apple1.chez.com/Apple1project/Emulation/Pom1-0.70b-JAVA.tar.gz

It runs with "java -DECHO="N" -DROMFILE="6502.rom.bin" -cp Pom1.jar pom1.Exec"
, but I'm not sure if it works fine.

regards

Try PRINT "HELLO" and PRINT 1+2. These would work on an APPLE II, not sure if the APPLE I had basic.
Hmm, see https://www.applefritter.com/replica/chapter5 seems originally it did not have it in ROM. And it booted into the monitor. Come to think of it, I believe the 1st APPLE II also booted into the monitor, which was quite capable and included a mini-assembler.
Edit: Fix typo

No, the Apple I had no builtin Basic. It came with Wozmon, where you can look at memory locations and change them.
So what you would do, like most computers of its time, e.g. Altair etc, is, poke your assembled program into memory by keyboard or serial connection, and then run it.

Seems the emulator is using the Replica 1 ROM which does have basic included.
