Yes. As I've said already several times, the CLASSPATH has *nothing* to do with finding scripts in the examples directory. Only the working directory -- the current directory at the DOS prompt when you start Jess -- matters. The path to a script that you give either to the (batch) command *or* on the DOS command line must be a valid path either relative to the current working directory or an absolute path. Here's a rule of thumb: let's say you're sitting at the DOS prompt (not the Jess prompt -- this is BEFORE you start Jess) and you type DIR some\directory\foo.clp . One of two things will happen: you'll see a directory listing of the file, or you'll see a "file not found" message. If the path (here, "some\directory\foo.clp", an imaginary example of course) works for DIR under DOS, then it will work for Jess. If DIR doesn't like it, then neither will Jess. Furthermore, if you use a -classpath switch on the Java command line, then the CLASSPATH environment variable is ignored. > > 2) I cannot get the > > (system java -classpath jess.jar jess.Main Jess61p6/examples/fullmab.clp) > (the missing period was just a typo in the email not in the actual Jess > command) > or > (system java -classpath jess.jar jess.Main examples/fullmab.clp) > > Jess commands to run from the Jess prompt. First of all, as Alan Moore pointed out already, this isn't something that you'd *ever* normally want to do. It was just to demonstrate something which I thought would help clarify matters. It seems, unfortunately, to have had just the opposite effect. Anyway, by inspection, the first of these *cannot* work, because it assumes that "jess.jar" is in the current directory, yet the "examples" directory is underneath a Jess61p6 directory. The second should work fine, *if* the current working directory is C:\Jess\Jess61p4 or C:\Jess\Jess61p6. If the working directory is anything else, then it will fail, for reasons which I dearly hope I've made clear by now. --------------------------------------------------------- Ernest Friedman-Hill Science and Engineering PSEs Phone: (925) 294-2154 Sandia National Labs FAX: (925) 294-2234 PO Box 969, MS 9012 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Livermore, CA 94550 http://herzberg.ca.sandia.gov -------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send the words 'unsubscribe jess-users [EMAIL PROTECTED]' in the BODY of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], NOT to the list (use your own address!)
