Java Virtual Machine

Here's a key to the markup:

        [page-number]: serious technical mistake
        {page-number}: minor technical mistake
        <page-number>: important language/formatting problem
        (page-number): language change or minor formatting problem
        ?page-number?: reader question or request for clarification

Here are the changes that were made for the 8/99 printing:


(58) last line: "current" should be "currently"


{179} Tag value 2 used to be CONSTANT_Unicode in Java 1.0. Since there
is also a CONSTANT_Utf8, I guess they decided to drop CONSTANT_Unicode
for simplicity when they came out with the JVM spec, so its meaning is
now undefined.  I suppose it would be a good idea to include an entry
for 2 saying "reserved" or something like that.


(223) next-to-last sentence before last code bit: "numbers" should be
"number"


(267) under "i2c": in the table, "value" and "result" should not be
part of the column heads
