Sounds like you know exactly what we're talking about. It just didn't seem
like Peter knew exactly what it was he did to patch his Java. Helpers or
wrapper - it becomes a bit of sematic nit picking IMHO. I liken it to the old
DOS extender technology. I would have called the latter a helper rather than a
wrapper but I wouldn't be stubborn about it. In any case, I agree that it
looked like an application specific rendition of pe (I would have said Odin) but
I don't know what was included or excluded to say how app-specific it was. For
all I know, it might have been Odin outright.

This would make sense and from Peter's subsequent e-mail, it looks like this is
what it is.
