This release is a demonstration and test of the virtual machine (ICVM), the compiler (igcc), and libraries. Complete source to Internet C++ and ICVM are available for download, as well as binary releases of ICVM for Unix/Unix-like platforms, including Linux, FreeBSD, and NetBSD. Featuring a high-speed virtual machine (ICVM) that is fast enough to run Doom with no JIT compilation, Internet C++ provides several standard libraries such as X and Motif. Download our Doom port and check it out for yourself! Internet C++ will bring standard languages and APIs, as well as current applications, to the Internet. More information and downloads are available at: http://www.xmission.com/~icvm/ Thank You Bob A. Dayley Auther and Inventor of Internet C++
