Re: iSeries JVM version

    Hi Chris,

> Can we run a Sun JVM on the iSeries to compare it?

    JVMs are systen dependent, i.e. native code, at least for startup,
memory management and so on.  That's why Sun, for example, has different
downloads for Windows, Solaris and Linux.  A standard Sun JVM is not
going to run under OS/400 and PPC architecture.
