Thanks for your help. I'm not short of JDKs (on CDs and on the Win95 half of my hard drive), but I don't know my way around Debian yet. I presume I would need some Debian program (jdk1.1-dev?) to install the JDK. I didn't find anything linux-specific on the javasoft site. Would I have to upgrade (from hamm) to slink for this? (I seem to be years away from getting my internet connection working.)
