LEARN JAVA NOW BY STEPHAN R. DAVIS
COMPANION CD
COPYRIGHT (C) 1996 BY STEPHAN R. DAVIS
=========================================================
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.
