Ahhh! I understand. I think.
So, although java, javac etc. are not physically in jdk1.2/bin the wrapper
redirects to the appropriate version in the green & native directories.
I don't see how it does that but so long as it does I don't mind.
I was basing my knowledge of the jdk on the directory structure of the Win32
version of Java and expected to see the runtimes in jdk1.2/bin and as I
didn't I hunted round until I did.
Many thanks,
James.
