3.1 Copyright and Disclaimer

All files of the Java library are Copyright (C) 1997,1998 by Richard Steventon, Andre Schoorl, and Will Laughlin unless otherwise noted.

The Java library is freely distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but is provided `as is' and is subject to change without notice. No warranty of any kind is made with regard to the software or documentation. The authors shall not be liable for any errors, incidental or consequential damages arising from use of the software or documentation.

Permission to copy the whole, unmodified Java package is granted provided that the copies are not made or distributed for resale (excepting nominal copying fees). If you put Java on CD-ROM and distribute it, you should send each of the authors a free copy. E-Mail us for our postal addresses.

The HP48 Java library has no connection at all to the Sun Microsystems product of the same name. Since the Java library is not a commercial product, we do not expect this be to a problem.

3.2 Flavours

Java is now brewed in five delicious flavours: Espresso, Frappuccino, Cappuccino, Mocha, and Decaf. Choose the one that best suites your taste and available memory.

Espresso

Frappuccino

Cappuccino

Mocha

Decaf

Since not all flavours are created equal, there will be differences in size and speed between the libraries. Furthermore, not all configuration flags will be meaningful in all flavours, but they are left the same for consistency.
