-
- The JavaNow directory contains the sample source code
- and class files of the examples presented in Learn Java
- Now by Stephan R. Davis. The \JDK Examples directory
- contains example programs from the Java Development Kit
- (JDK) that were written by Sun Microsystems, Inc. and
- are in the public domain.
-
- Run the Setup program in the JavaNow directory to install
- the "Learn Java Now" files. You can copy the files
- directly off the CD-ROM if you prefer but you'll need to
- manually remove the read-only attribute from each file.

- KNOWN PROBLEMS
- --------------
-
- TILDE (~) SHORT FILENAMES INSTALLED OR FILES NOT FOUND:
- You might experience problems running the Setup program
- on computers running Microsoft Windows NT 3.51 and some
- configurations of Microsoft Windows 95. This includes
- the following error:
-
- Setup cannot access the source file
- 'D:\MSDEV\VJUPDATES.HTML'.
-
- Furthermore, various files and directories on this
- CD-ROM will contain short filenames ending with a tilde
- character followed by a number (for example, ~1).
-
- CAUSE:
- The CD-ROM for the Microsoft Press book titled
- "Learn Java Now" was duplicated using long filenames and
- filenames containing spaces and lowercase letters.
-
- The ISO 9660 specification, which is a long-standing
- CD-ROM file system (CDFS) specification, does not allow
- spaces or lowercase letters in filenames. Microsoft
- Windows NT 3.51 and MS-DOS (with or without Windows 3.1)
- cannot read CD-ROM filenames that contain spaces or
- lowercase letters. However, Microsoft Windows 95 extends
- the CDFS to allow spaces, lowercase letters, and long
- filenames by using CD-ROM drivers designed for this
- capability.
-
- Because Windows 95 permits extended CD-ROM filenames,
- it does not have problems reading the CD-ROM for this
- book. However, Windows 95 configurations that use MS-DOS
- (or real mode) CD-ROM drivers will not be able to access
- the extended CD-ROM filenames on this CD-ROM. The setup
- program specifically references the long filenames, so
- it fails to see the short filename version of the file.
-
- WORKAROUNDS:
- For Windows 95, the best method of correcting this
- problem is to obtain a Windows 95 CD-ROM driver. Please
- contact your CD-ROM manufacturer for the latest drivers
- for your model CD-ROM.
-
- There is no correction or update available for
- Windows NT 3.51. Windows NT 3.51 users should upgrade
- to Windows NT 4.0 in order to solve this problem.
-
- To work around the short filename issue without upgrading
- any operating system components, you can look up the
- proper long filename in the text file DIRLIST.TXT on
- this CD-ROM. This file contains a list of the short
- filenames and their long filename equivalent.
