We hope that in the future the developers will join us in using the term "free software" rather than "open source".

As a result of some not inconsiderable developmental activity, DMS announces the public release of KOPI, the first fully functioning open source Java compiler, written and developed entirely in the Java language. KOPI is an extensible Java application which has already been extended to allow integration with, among other systems, SQL. The result of this is the creation of a system similar to SQLJ, but with improved functionality. The KOPI suite comes complete with a Java assembler and disassembler as well as extensive diagnostic tools which are actively updated by a team of committed full-time engineers. These self-same engineers are also responsible for maintaining the system as a whole from the DMS nerve-centres based in both Vienna, Austria, and Sophia Antipolis, France. Our flagship product, kjc, is the only java compiler fully written in java that comes complete with support for the latest Java Language Specification from Sun. It also has a useful set of new warnings and a descent optimizer. This product has just been bundled with Kaffe (http://www.kaffe.org) as their default java compiler. The system has been developed by DMS Decision Management Systems, (Vienna, Austria) with the support of ESSI (Ecole Superieur en Sciences Informatiques) in France. KOPI is currently integrated in various commercial applications and is available under the terms and conditions of the GNU General Public Licence as published by the Free Software Foundation. The current version of the KOPI Suite is available for download at: http://www.dms.at/kopi ------- End of forwarded message ------- -- == The Difference Between Cultures: == Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit Liberte', E'galite', Fraternite' Sex, drugs and rock'n'roll
