Java is cross-platform, so you compile it once for both machines.  Now 
that means you will have to place on the command line:

     java yourprogram.class

to run the program from the DOS command prompt while Windows 95 is 
running.  It won't run without Windows 95 running, as far as I know.
You then have to ensure that the person who runs yourprogram has java 
runtime installed.

Finally, there is no character-based menuing in Java, as far as I 
know.  It would have to be a windowed application using AWT.
