How about a command-line argument that prints/answers a system attribute? The system attributes are just strings, so they can be printed without loading an image etc. It won't look as nice as myvm -printProxyversion, it'll look like myvm -sysattr 1010 -sysattr 1011, but it'll be general.<br>

Hi Bert--<br>

Right, right, I have no qualm with the policy. There should just be<br>
a simple way for me to tell what some random VM is expecting, by a<br>
simple query at the command line. I shouldn't even need an object<br>
memory, much less get to the point of an error happening.<br>
