+<h1>GNU Classpath 0.00 Annoucement (1999-02-06)</h1>
+
+<p>
+<en>
+I am pleased to announce the first development release of GNU Classpath,
+a project to create a free software replacement for Sun's proprietary
+Java class libraries.  The project is initially providing class library
+support for the Japhar JVM.
+</en>
+</p>
+<p>
+<en>
+Here are the answers to some questions you might have about this project 
+and this release.
+</en>
+</p>
+<p>
+<en>
+1).  Where can I get it?
+</en>
+</p>
+<p>
+<en>
+GNU Classpath 0.00 can be downloaded from: 
+<createlink url="ftp://alpha.gnu.org/pub/gnu/classpath/classpath-0.00.tar.gz"
+      name="ftp://alpha.gnu.org/pub/gnu/classpath/classpath-0.00.tar.gz">
+</en>
+</p>

+2).  What is included?
+</en>
+</p>
+<p>
+<en>
+The following java packages are supported:
+</en>
+</p>
+<UL>
+  <LI>java.beans</LI>
+  <LI>java.io</LI>
+  <LI>java.lang</LI>
+  <LI>java.lang.reflect</LI>

+</UL>
+<p>
+<en>
+This is enough to run many non-awt programs.  Not all classes and methods
+are implemented in this release, but most are.  The major missing piece
+of core functionality is java.text.  Many of the implemented classes are
+already up to the Java 1.2 spec.
+</en>
+</p>
+<p>
+<en>
+3).  What is required to build/install/run?
+</en>
+</p>
+<p>
+<en>
+GNU Classpath requires that Japhar 0.07 be installed.  Information on
+obtaining Japhar is available from <createlink url="http://www.hungry.com/old-hungry/products/japhar/"
+name="http://www.hungry.com/old-hungry/products/japhar/">.  A working C compiler is also required.  You
+will need the Sun JDK installed if you elect to recompile the Java
+classes.
+</en>
+</p>
+<p>
+<en>
+4).  What platforms are supported?
+</en>
+</p>
+<p>
+<en>
+GNU/Linux is the only platform that has been tested.  We plan to 
+eventually support many others.
+</en>
+</p>
+<p>
+<en>
+5).  Who should use this software?
+</en>
+</p>
+<p>
+<en>
+This is a development release only.  You should only install it if you
+are interested in Classpath development or reporting bugs.  We appreciate
+both.  You might also be interested if you enjoy installing random alpha
+software.
