What command isn’t working? Is it the jar xvf batik-1.6.zip command? If so, you need to have the JRE in your path for it to work. It’ll be something like C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0, so do this: set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0\bin then the jar command should work to extract the contents of the zip file. But in fact you can just unzip the files as you would normally from Windows. > Also I am having difficulties getting the modules to work will/be > called by Netbeans 5.0 IDE.

I’m not familiar with Netbeans, but presumably it should have some way of adding jars to the classpath for the program you are writing. You should add to the classpath all of the .jar files in the lib directory that you extracted (batik-anim.jar, batik-awt-util.jar, js.jar, etc.). Try then compiling the sample program described here: http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/batik/using/swing.html For more help with Batik, you might like to post to the batik-users mailing list.
