I do not consider version numbers prehistoric relics.

:-)

Note that:
* ODS-5 file systems are case insensitive case preserving (Windows
   style) unlike ODS-2 that is case insensitive uppercasing (DOS style)
* Java actually supports both native syntax and traditional
   *nix / syntax for filenames

import java.io.*;

public class Disp {
     public static void show(String fnm) throws IOException {
         BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(fnm));
         String line;
         while((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
             System.out.println(line);
         }
         br.close();
     }
     public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
         show("DISK2:[ARNE]HELLOWORLD.JAVA");
         show("/disk2/arne/helloworld.java");
     }
}

actually displays the same file twice.

6.0-3 which is equivalent of Oracle 6.0u27 was released last month.

But no 1.7 yet.
