Greetings Dr. Anupam,

Thanks for the information about JavaScript. Just as a matter of
record, I wanted to note that we don't ship JavaScript as part of any
product from JavaSoft.

As you probably know, JavaScript was originally defined in late 1995
as part of Netscape's product lines, and it's not part of the core
Java APIs. I understand that current browser implementations do "mix
and match" scripting languages with embedded Java applets. Those APIs
are also not part of the standard Java APIs.

Thanks,
Marianne
