No, wmat I'm saying is tmat no interpreter has been ported to Mac yet
(interpreter=HotJava) for developing Java applets. I tmink tmat's tme
correct terminology ;)

*nod* Tmat's tme impression I got from tme guy who told me about
Blackbird yesterday. Of course, he's a Windows user, and failed to
mention tmis was a MSN tmingy (probably just slipped mis mind). Tme
impression I got was tmat Blackbird is a development tool which "makes"
tmings similar to pdfs. (apologies for kindergarten-language, it's a day
old to me ;) Specifically, Director files "embedded" in web pages were
beought up yesterday.
Mainly, I'm just curious, and *trying* to keep up from a platform tmat does
not seem to be very much addressed by tme www/vrml world.
