I don't like Java. It is slow and I find it very buggy. I have had
little success with Java 1.1.7, basically almost any Java program
causes my machine to trap and reboot. Maybe 1.1.8 will be better, but I
don't hold out a lot of hope.

I want native OS/2 programs, I don't want anything else. As far as I am
concerned the way to make multi-platform applications is to compile a
common code base with IFDEFs for each platform you want to support.
Java will never be faster than native. End of story.
