If subdirs include bin, lib, demo, etc. it sounds to me(I've been using java under Solaris for a long time now) like the correct directories. > I noticed when I viewed ./work/bin/java it was still in script. > Is that the way it is suppose to be? TIA Yes! It's exactly the same under Solaris. My guess is that the JavaSoft people wanted a way to abstract what was actually run from what platform java was running on. Under Solaris, for instance, it makes the decision of what thread library to use at invocation. If this helps, here's the first three lines of /usr/local/bin/java under Solaris: #! /bin/ksh # # @(#)java_wrapper.sh 1.31 97/09/02 > Please reply to jwalt@mwci.net since I am only on the questions mailing > list.
