Purpose: provide some pointers and references to Java in particular, and its relationship to Tcl.
See http://www.java.com/ for the home of Java, an interpreted bytecode OO language whose byte codes are intended to run cross platform.
LV says "So far, in 5+ years of reading and looking at Java, I've only found 1 application that was useful and worked out of the box - and that is a command line app that generates DOC files for the Palm Pilot!".
RS quotes from [L1 ] that Tcl's
set out [open file.txt a]
is in Java only
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(new FileOutputStream("file.txt",true));"
