    Supported Platforms 

    The current release of WebRunner Tools has been tested for use with the JDK1.1.1 available on WindowsNT and Windows95. 
    Releases on other platforms will be supported in the near future, depending on the availability of stable releases of the JDK1.1.1  on those platforms. 

    When using Bean Tools on the Windows 95 platform, you may find the following hints helpful: 

    • You might encounter an "Out of environment space" problem when launching the applications from the Program group. To correct this problem, add the following line to your config.sys file: 
    • shell=X:\command.com /e:4096 /p 
      where "X:" is the drive path where your Windows 95 operating system is installed.
    • You may get a "MSVCRT.DLL not Found" error. This file is required to run java.exe. To correct this problem, copy your Windows 95 MSVCRT40.DLL over to MSVCRT.DLL as follows (in single command string): 
    • copy X:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MSVCRT40.DLL 
      X:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MSVCRT.DLL 
      where "X:" is the drive path where your Windows 95 operating system is installed.
    • If you open the Bean Tools Wizard, generate files, and then close the Wizard, the DOS window that brought up the Wizard will say the Wizard is finished but will not close automatically. To correct this problem, close the window manually by clicking on the close button (X) in the extreme upper right corner of the DOS window.
