It seems to me that somewhere in the foggy past I had the opportunity to run an application that I wrote in Java on a work station that didn't have the Java Runtime Environment installed.... I think that I copied something into the application directory but I'm not sure what or even if this did happen. Any ideas? Jim James M.
