- The source code is portable in either case... how the code is executed
- at run-time is just a matter of semantics (and, yes, there are
- performance/space issues). Either way, you need "something" (either
- an interpreter or compiler) to run the code on whatever platform
- you are porting to.

- Are there compilers out there for Java? If so, where can I get my
- hands on one for Windows95 ? Thanks in advance...
