Getting things working again with the MS JVM was one of the major fixes in 0.5.0. I didn't know the MS JVM ever ran/shipped in Windows 95, but that's cool. Someone should make a demo. Unfortunately, none of the developers run Windows, and the MS JVM doesn't run under Wine. One recent accomplishment is getting Cortado working under the Sun JDK 1.1.8, which is very similar to the MS JVM but runs under Wine, so we can test it more easily. Anyway, if you have a copy of Windows 95 around, it would be cool to see Cortado running in a Win95 VM! 7.5.5 may be newer than Windows 95, but System 7.5 was originally released in September 1994, so the OS internals might be older!

Against the included Microsoft 1.0 JVM. Any idea if that still works with 0.5.0 ? Just FYI, Cortado 0.2.0 ran on an even older OS – Windows 95. Against the included Microsoft 1.0 JVM.
