DJ news reported today (5/29/96):

SAN FRANCISCO -- Four members of Sun Microsystems Inc.'s

a new company to provide next-generation technologies for

In a press release, Mariba said its founders are Kim Polese,

will play to advance Java as an open, platform-independent
programming language for the Internet and beyond.
