[geeks] jvm/bytecode spec?

[der Mouse]

I'm looking for Java virtual machine documentation.  I can perhaps put
it most succinctly this way: I want to understand enough of the JVM to
write bytecode (machine code, not assembly code) by hand.

There is a Sun document, but only, as far as I can see, in the form of
a gazillion Web pages.  Is there anything that pulls it together into a
single file I can read over (a Web browser is _not_ a suitable
interface for reading large quantities of text, even if I could assume
full-time ocnnectivity!), or am I going to have to spider the Sun pages
and try to pull together bits and pieces to assaemble something usable
from them?
