Jon,
I'm neither an expert on OSX, nor Jikes so maybe not best placed to answer
your question but I will give you my opinion.
Firstly, perhaps you should qualify the test with some form of "$OSTYPE"
check. I'm not familiar with how you do that on OSX.
The other thing to consider is that jikes uses a JIKESPATH variable and it
maybe more appropriate to set this up instead.
Not much help - sorry. Either way, I'm +1 on you going ahead.
Conor
