chatr exists, the man-page says
 "change program's internal attributes".
ldd does not exist.

A miracle just happened: compilation out-of-the-box of Kaffe managed
to launch the biggest Java package I have written.

That is, with shared libraries! (Somebody else may try the static ones :-)
Kaffe works under HP/UX 10.20!

OK, now the problems: I can't get a KeyEvent through my Canvas. I've
had this same problem a couple of versions ago on Linux, where I tried
to solve them with Focus, but without reaching compatibility with
Sun's jdk. The problem has been solved for Linux, though, 'coz I
remember popping up a Frame as a consequence of such a KeyEvent.

Pressing TAB a few times kind-of worked then, but does cause any
reaction, now.

In combination with IceWm, Kaffe does not continue when I switch to
another virtual screen. That is, it consumes CPU cycles, but does
nothing useful. Both for Linux and HP-UX. WindowDeactivated problem?
Focus problem? IceWm problem?
