	--I've been wanting to ask about kaffee [ if this is a Java
	clone ], and any other.  C was the first quantum leap, 
	OS- and application-wise.  We have many alternatives to
	the Dennis Ritchie orginal, so it would seem possible to
	follow another course for things-java.   Hopefully.

	So, without hijacking this thread *too* far, what other
	Open src projects will run "Java"-applets and so on??

	PS: This might work well in the article... .
