Why not replace Java by SBasic (for QL/SMS user only, of course) ? -----Message d'origine----- De : Tarquin Mills [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Envoyé : mardi 2 octobre 2001 00:32 À : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Objet : [ql-users] Hyper Browse Development
At the show I was asked about the development of my web browser, I have converted the parser in C. At the moment I am changing my development environment to one in which I can develop GUI based software. I am unable to use Prowess as it is seems to be GPL, rather than (LGPL etc.), so this option was ruled out, and so the program will be Wman based. At the show I expressed some of the problems of creating a JVM i.e. Sun not wanting anything but a 100% compatible JVM or it should not be released. I have spent the week looking into the feasibility of creating a JVM, and feel it is not feasible. A man doing a RISC OS JVM has written over 16000 lines of code and is only 95% of the way there (his product is not released yet). I feel my time would be better spent concentrating on the browser, rather than one feature of it. Also M$ are no longer going to give a JVM away with IE. I may however include a simpler virtual machine in the HB package.
