Hi, When I was still using Win95, I'd installed the Java version of AOL's Instant Messenger. I have my old Win95 disks mounted under Red Hat Linux 5.1. Tonight I tried running AOLim under Linux with Blackdown's JDK 1.1.6-2. All I had to do was: %cd '/mnt/c/Program Files/AOLim' %jre -cp AIM.jar main.Oscar Running AOL Instant Messenger (TM) version 1.1.19 for Java built 03/24/98 ... It worked! I used it today for real. A few wierdnesses: The Buddy List tree control is messed up visually a tiny bit. Also, the first time I tried to send a message, keystrokes were doubled, but it worked fine after that. Don't let anyone tell you WORA is just a dream! - Dan p.s. It took me a while to figure out how to get the JDK running (it was simple, but I didn't see the doc.) I ended up with this in my .bash_profile: JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/java/jdk1.1.6 PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH CLASSPATH=/usr/local/java/jdk1.1.6/lib/classes.zip #following not needed? LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$JAVA_HOME/lib/i586/green_threads:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH Seems like there ought to be an RH RPM for the JDK that sets this stuff up systemwide so users don't need to modify their personal .bash_profile's... if no one at Blackdown is doing that, maybe I'll try...
