Feel free to add my instructions to your web site. However, please correct
my instructions as follows (based upon my follow-up message to Claire Ryan):
In step (2), please replace the following text as follows:
Old Text:
"Note that I converted some of the directory paths
to use forward slashes ("/") instead of escaped
backslashes ("\\") since backslashes only work on
Windows boxes and then only with some JVMs."
New Text:
"Note that you must convert all of the directory
paths to use single back slashes ("\") instead
of single forward slashes ("/") or escaped back
slashes ("\\"). For example, the directory path
"e:/jrun/classes" must be changed to
"e:\jrun\classes". This is necessary for Visual
Cafe to work properly."
Please let me know if you have any questions about the instructions.
