Either use a batch file wrapper or use Class-Path entries in the MANIFEST.MF file. Eg... Class-Path: jar1.jar jar2.jar other/jar3.jar Jake I agree.  My preference is to use a batch file whenever possible, however the ability for some users to create directories and unzip a file is sometimes too much to ask.  An installer definitely has its benefits for these situations! --    Anthony Rabaa    Software Developer & Network Administrator     AMCon Research Inc.     Ottawa, Ontario, Canada     http://www.amconresearch.net --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
