On Feb 27, Burhan Khalid had something to say about [thelist] Java Question...

>Hello Evolters :

>that are distributed over the internet in plain ol' .exe form. Anyone know
>what trick/program/wrapper I need to use in order to get my .class file to

>bit more tweaking on the user's part to get it running than an .exe would.
>They would have to run it from the prompt, as in :

>java somfile.class

>Any thoughts on this? Since I think this is a little OT, here is my tip :
