general notes for the Preview Version of Grinder: The Java Browser.

Please be sure to read the License Information section toward the end of this document !

EXPIRATION ! This application will expire on: June 30, 1996.

******************************************************************************
Welcome to the pre-beta preview of

	Grinder: The Java Browser

We aim to make Grinder the premier development environment for the Java language, and at the same time make sure that every developer can afford it.

If you like what we have done, tell a friend. Feel free to make copies and distribute this preview to anyone you want, as long as you don't change it or charge for it. (More details in the license agreement).

******************************************************************************
Before running Grinder, create 3 new environmental variables (use control panel, system settings):

	CLASSPATH  - points to where your java class files have been installed. 
		example:
		CLASSPATH=e:\java\classes;
	SOURCEPATH - points to where the java source files are.
		example:
		SOURCEPATH=e:\java\src;
	TOOLPATH - points to where the java compiler and executables are.
		example:
		TOOLPATH=e:\java\bin

******************************************************************************
Remember: this is a pre-beta release, so a bunch of stuff still does not work:

This version does not work with SOME older (version 2) files like HotJava, but seems to work OK with newer version 3 files.

The ability to send sample .gri files on the command line doesn't work, so the Icons for samples are useless right now.

Help has not been implemented yet.

Grinder has only been tested with NT 3.51.
