Then what the hell is the point of writing it in Java? Java is a monstrosity¹ whose only advantage is that it is cross-platform. imc ¹ As you said, the Windows SDK is 6MB. So is the Linux JDK (the compressed tarball, that is). Netscape takes about ten minutes to start up when it finds an applet on a web page. It isn't even a particularly nice language (though see NetRexx at http://rexx.hursley.ibm.com/netrexx/).
