MYSTERY SOLVED!
Jar behaves rather oddly under Win95 and this caused me to become confused.
When I unjarred the file under Win95, I looked in the Windows Explorer for
the products. I immediately noticed under the directory where I did the
unjarring, a new path mirroring the path under linux where the files were
created, which contained a bunch of class files. I ALSO noticed some class
files in the directory where I did the unjarring, but I assumed that these
were from a previous compilation, deleted them, and copied in the ones from
the unix-like path. However, this set did NOT include any of the inner
classes, the $1, $2 etc. So I now had an incomplete set of files and the
program wouldn't run.
When I just ran the files that jar unzipped, it all worked fine. Duh.
I am wondering, however, why Jar makes this additional mirror of the
original directory structure and places in it an incomplete set of files.
And one more minor problem:
The one difference between the program on the two systems is a
JOptionsPane. On the linux side it behaves correctly. On the Win95 side it
truncates the message. Is there some way to control this?
Thanks again for all your help.
