Well, you can do this on any system with Java - on all should work
spawning
appletviewer something.java
And on Linux with java binary support even
./something.java
I guess it wouldn't be a very hard problem to incorporate this to
mainstream lynx (if it ins't done already).. And perhaps the check for
appletviewer and/or java binary support in the autoconfigure.. (By the
way, the Java binary support isn't a very good idea - one could spoof some
java code by a shell script which could do malicious things, lynx would
run ./something.java - horrible thoughts.. :-)
