It's interesting that JavaScript was actually developed at Netscape
after Sun introduced Java. JavaScript doesn't require Java itself.
However, Sun was happy to join with Netscape in promoting JavaScript as
a good "fit" with Java. They made the joint announcement of JavaScript
on December 4, 1995. I think the only thing Sun had to do with the
development JavaScript was to approve was the use of "Java" in the name
<g>. They _did_ register it as their trademark.
In any case, I have a feeling that neither Java nor JavaScript will ever
be a part of Net-Tamer.
