KAFFE v0.5p3 - A JIT and interpreting virtual machine to run Java(tm)* code
  ===========================================================================

Kaffe is a virtual machine design to execute Java bytecode.
This machine can be configured in two modes.  In one mode it operates as
a pure bytecode interpreter (not unlike Javasoft's machine); in the second
mode if performs "just-in-time" code conversion from the abstract code to
the host machine's native code.  This will ultimately allow execution of
Java code at the same speed as standard compiled code but while maintaining
the advantages and flexibility of code independence.

This version of Kaffe will run on the following platforms:

        i386    FreeBSD 2.x             (interp + jit)
          "     Linux 1.2.13            (interp + jit)
          "     NetBSD 1.x              (interp + jit)
          "     Solaris 2.x             (interp + jit)
          "     BSDI 2.x                (interp + jit)
          "     Unixware                (interp + jit)
          "     SCO 3.2v5               (interp + jit)
          "     NeXTStep 3              (interp + jit)
          "     Windows '95             (interp)
        Sparc   SunOS 4.x               (interp)
          "     Solaris 2.x             (interp)
          "     NetBSD 1.x              (interp)
          "     NeXTStep 3              (interp)
        PowerPC MkLinux                 (interp)

I encourage people to make ports to other platforms and to feed them back
to me.  I would recommend that initial ports concentrate on the interpreter.
These can then be used as the basis for developing JIT versions for these systems.

You may also need to retrieve kaffe-0.5p3-sun.tgz which contains the
seperate SUN classes codes if you do not already have it.

Enjoy.
