Hello, J602/701 are fantastic products but it is frustrating to follow the "good idea" below.
http://www.jsoftware.com/docs/help701/user/relhigh.htm "701 J Front End (JFE) changes are revolutionary! Previously the primary JFE was based on Jsoftware's proprietary WD (window driver). 701 abandons WD. J Engine change makes it relatively easy to completely write a JFE in J. This has enabled the development of two new J front ends. The first is JHS (J HTTP Server) where a browser is the front end. The second is JGTK which is based on the GTK+ portable library for creating graphical user interfaces. Get Going J has a console interface called jconsole and a GUI interface called jhs. Use jhs for an easier introduction to both standard and new features. "Whether you are new to J or an old hand, it is a good idea to start by exploring the jhs menu. Browse help to get an idea of what is there and how to navigate." So i tried to find something about "jhs menu" or "jhs" in the Site Search 1. lots of unusable "Add on" references for a beginner 2. "jhs start" gives something http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/NYCJUG/2011-02-08/HelloWorldInJHS How true : " We sometimes get blinded by something we think is trivial and forget to tell others about the initial steps needed." 3. in http://www.jsoftware.com/help/index/j.htm the f3-find does not work on that page ... how could you find "jhs" in such a long page? 4. Wow ... not even a search here too ? http://jsoftware.com/pipermail/programming/ You did a great job with J701 and i hope you can improve the access to beginners. I'm not going to give up. Another detail "C:\Program Files\J701\bin\jhs.bat" seems not working ... is it due to the custom installation ? Good luck anyway -- Francis, Brussel -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Does exactly what it says on the tin ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
