I can't reconcile these two statements in the 0.9.1 README

- * This snapshot does *NOT* work with AWT so please don't ask my why
-   appletviewer doesn't run.
 
and

-If you want to use graphics you'll need one of the following:
- 
- kaffe-0.9.1-package-biss-net.com.tgz   AWT graphics support.
- kaffe-0.9.1-package-epfl.ch.tgz        Alternative graphics support.


Is kaffe-0.9.1 supposed to work with biss graphics awt or not ?
If not, if it to be expected in the short / middle / long term ?


We have simple graphic applications which do not run with sun's jdk 1.1.x
(crash when display is on a non-sun machine). We are seriously considering
forgetting about java altogether, so any help is welcome (yes, sun has been
notified).
