I have been informed that some of you have still difficulty setting up
Demeter/Java on your PC under Windows 95. I personally use Demeter/Java
on my laptop which was set-up by Kedar Patankar (kedar@ccs.neu.edu).
For example, I ran all the midterm examples under Windows 95.

Here is how I use Microsoft Developer (MSD) with Demeter/Java:
I create a new workspace and populate it with relevant files, such as
program.cd, program.beh, program.input, err-gen (messages from Demeter/Java),
out (output from running program). When I have program.cd and program.beh,
I switch (using ALT+TAB) to a MSDOS window where I type

demjava program

This command uses the -tie option so that output goes to standard output
which is redirected to file err-gen.

If I get an error, I go to the MSD workspace and select from the file menu
"Save workspace". This seems necessary because of a bug in MSD.
Then all files changed by demjava will be updated and you can easily go to the
line number in the file for which an error was reported. The changed
file will be marked by a star and CTRL-S will save it.

Once the program.cd and program.beh file compile, I go again to the
MSDOS window and run the program, giving program.input as input.

We did not find a way to redirect the output of the Java Compiler Compiler 
or of the Java Compiler. But we have not found this to be a real problem
if we eliminate the messages from what is visible in the MSDOS window.

If you have a better way to use Demeter/Java, using standard tools, please
let us know.

If you still have problems with Windows setup, please send mail to:

ap-support@ccs.neu.edu

Which will reach Kedar.  Alexey is not a Windows user.
