Okay, I've rearranged the /proj/demsys/demjava directory somewhat.
There are now two symlinks, "cur" and "new", which point to the
current working version and the newest version, respectively (0.4 and
0.4.1 at the moment).  To use the new version, use this command (in
csh or tcsh):

    source /proj/demsys/demjava/bin/use-new-demjava

This will change your $PATH and $CLASSPATH accordingly.  (I don't know
how to do this in sh/ksh/bash, so you'll have to do the changes
manually if you use one of those as your shell.)

Now the j-gen-make and demjava in your path will be the new versions,
and the new classes will be in your classpath.  Test all you want, and
then when you're satisfied that it works (or at least that it works as
well as the previous version...) change the "cur" link to point to the
new version (i.e. 0.4.1).  Then when I upload the next version, I will
put it in 0.4.2 and change the "new" link to point to it.

Let me know if this is a good setup, or if you have any comments or
better ideas.
