Not in Java.

This is not a Java question.

Ask in an appropriate forum.

Do a web search (e.g., Google).

Check out stackoverflow.

You want to do something spectacularly non-portable. Java is very likely the wrong tool for this.

Ask somewhere appropriate. This isn't that place. This is comp.lang.java.programmer, a forum for discussion of Java programming issues.

*Java* programming issues.
