I believe Nathan Yospe mentioned a vendor? There are "free" things being developed but they do ugly things like translate Java to C and then compile and link with buggy garbage collection libraries and other stuff. Aside: Check out <<A HREF="http://java.pages.de/">http://java.pages.de/</A>> There's some interesting recreations of ancient arcade games there. > On a similar level, is this what JIT compilers do? I do believe a JIT merely optimizes the .class bytcode for the particular VM. > If so, could not > someone write a JIT that produces an ordinary exe? No, because the native code still resides in the VM. -- --/*\ Jon A.
