Off Topic, sort of I don't think that's possible. Java is compiled to byte code that absolutely must be run through an interpreter. George, I have friends who downplay the significance of JAVA precisely because it is an interpreted language. They claim it is a throwback to the old Basica days. To what extent is this true? Conversely, does the speed of today's microprocessors offset this concern? Thanks for your response. Sam P.S. I read Alomex's response to your message: Actually, just-in-time compilers (JIT) compile the byte code to native code on the fly. So it is possible to run Java without interpreting it. The same question still applies, but with the just-in-time compiler, as well as the interpreter.
