I recently decided that I wanted to try programming with JAVA in DOS. NOT command.com, or cmd.exe, but MS-DOS 6.22. My only problem is.... JDK is for windows (and others) but NOT DOS. So.... does anyone know where i can get a copy of some sort of Java Compler\Virtual Machine that runs purley in DOS? Thanks in Advance A\V |

I can't speak to having tried it but I heard mention a long time ago of the Taurus jvm targeting DOS. I'd be surprised if it worked, but it might. This site may offer more info; http://java-virtual-machine.net/other.html I usually like to offer a best of skill, as I figure development should not rely on luck, but for this one; Best of luck. 
Cheers |

Java was developed by Unix nerds at Sun and released in 1995. Windows was entrenched by that point and the Sun nerds didn't give two flips about DOS. |

Also I am not sure what you are trying to accomplish by doing java coding in dos. Just curious as why you would want to do this. |

Hello again, Yeah; I'm not going to try it, or investigate or ..., I can't even speak for the website being clean, but try http://www.geocities.com/siliconvalley/lab/6125/javavm/index.html and check the Taurus 0.16 jvm for Psion and MS-DOS, see if it interests. If this is really a request for a teacher ... I'd be surprised if they didn't mean a DOS box under win (forcing the class to use command line tools and zero GUI assistance) and not an INT 21H based MS-DOS, but I'll leave that one alone for now.
