Welcome to the InfoMagic JAVA(tm) CD-ROM
This disc contains the JAVA(tm) Development Kit for Windows(tm) 95/NT, SPARC Solaris, and Linux. The HOTJAVA(tm) browser is also suppled for both Windows(tm) 95/NT and SPARC Solaris. The material on this CD is provided in several formats for each of these platforms. By utilizing the full capabilities of the ISO-9660 CD-ROM format, and Rock Ridge Extensions, we have attempted to make the files usable directly from the CD as well as providing the original distribution files for installation to your hard disk.
A translation file is provided in every directory (TRANS.TBL) that has the original filename and the ISO-9660 alias for systems that do not support Rock Ridge Extensions.
The documentation is supplied in a number of forms including the original distribution files in both "tar" and "zip" formats as well as uncompressed expanded HTML files. There are two directories containing the HTML files, one usable on UNIX(tm) systems that support the Rock Ridge Extensions and the other usable under Windows(tm). Refer to the directory layout below for the paths to these and other directories.
