Sorry but I'm getting nowhere here.
I run 'java' and './java' from /usr/share/jdk1.2/bin and the system says
file 'java' not found.
Do I have to fiddle around with .java_wrapper, in some way?
Blackdown's documentation seems quite inadequate especially to a beginner
like me who is more used to the plug and play nature of Windows.
I just want to get on and program but want to do it on a Unix like system.
Thanks,
James.
