Windows: java version "1.3.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0-C)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.0-C, mixed mode)

Linux:
java version "1.3.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.0, mixed mode)



file.encoding is read-only with linux jre 1.3, but Windows
98 1.3 jre allows file.encoding to be set on command line
(both java and javaw).

Example a: In windows 98 'java -Dfile.encoding=bogus foo'
yields "Error occurred during initialization of VM
java/lang/ClassNotFoundException: sun/io/CharToBytebogus"

Example b: Under linux 'java -Dfile.encoding=bogus foo'
yields "Exception in thread "main"
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: foo"
