Thanks for the advice.  I choose option #2, and it worked great for
non-graphical classes.  However graphical classes are a different
story.  I discovered that a number of libraries are missing, esp.
the AWT!  Since I have a working NetBSD i386 port of the JDK 1.15,
I copied over some of the missing libraries over to the Kaffe library
directory.  Unfortunately, I get following error message when I use
the kaffe appletviewer to run a graphical applet, which runs perfectly
under the JDK.

/usr/libexec/ld.so: Undefined symbol "_monitorEnter" called from
	kaffe:/usr/local/lib/kaffe/lib/libawt.so at 0x4012c1e8

I'm sure that there must be some way to get graphic (AWT) support for
Kaffe, so that it can run graphical applets with its JIT.

Any addition help would be most appreciated.  Thank you in advance.
Sincerely, Alicia.
