microsoft.public.fr.jpp

Visual J++, in French (microsoft.public.fr branch).

One of the French-language rooms on Microsoft’s public server, for Visual J++ — the company’s Java development product of the later 1990s, whose implementation of the language was itself the subject of litigation.

The control archive records the group being created in August 2000 and reissued that November, in the same sweep that reissued the rest of the French branch.
