Andrew,
I remember trying once in the far forgotten past (about a month ago) to run an
application on a PC that did not have JBuilder installed. I *thought* that the
JRE.EXE was all I needed. Not so. The app would not run (only AWT components).
So JRE.EXE just can't be the whole story. Or am I missing something important
here? After all, jre.exe is a mere 11.5 KB, it would be really surprising if
that is all you need.
