217.0. "Customer Q on JDK /UNIX 3.2g" by OSL09::SISSELJ () Mon Mar 10 1997 06:49

    Hi,
    
    I have a customer that asks the following:
    
    "We are thinking of using the Java Development Kit (JDK) version
    1.0.2 foor building som new applications for our control system
    running on Digital UNIX 3.2g.  According to the download instructions, 
    however, JDK 1.0.2 requires Digital UNIX 4.0A or later.
    
    I have done some testing of JDK 1.0.2. on Digital UNIX 3.2g with 
    smaller prototypes and appeartly it seems to work.  Does anyone know
    whta the reason is for the Digital UNIX 4.0A requirement?  Is there
    a technical reason?  Han anyone experience with JDK 1.0.2. on Digital 
    UNIX 3.2?
    
    Your help will be appreciated

    Best regards,
    Sissel

    We are not aware of any problems with running JDK1.0.2 on Digital Unix 3.2,
    but we do not support that combination.  We did not do extensive testing
    on that version of Digital Unix.  So it will probably work, but if
    you run into problems, we don't promise to fix them.
