The source code is portable in either case... how the code is executed
at run-time is just a matter of semantics (and, yes, there are 
performance/space issues).  Either way, you need "something" (either 
an interpreter or compiler) to run the code on whatever platform
you are porting to.

Are there compilers out there for Java?  If so, where can I get my
hands on one for Windows95 ?  Thanks in advance...
