IIRC, Netscape v4.7+ comes with Java 2.  I think a Java SSH web site pointed
that out to me.

In any case, there's always that kludge to get the kernel to recognize a
Java binary and do the necessary limbo-twisting to run it properly.
Or something like that.  I avoided Java for a reason, and not just because
it's a proprietary language masquerading as a saviour of geekkind.
