Conrad: The JRE has other JAR files that go with it (rt.jar for one). When JBuilder 1.x was shipped, they didn't exist for JDK 1.1.2+. If you pull a JRE for JDK 1.1.3 you should have all the pieces that are needed (aside from your own classes in your own Jar and any jbcl stuff, etc.). -Rich Conrad Hoesle-Kienzlen wrote: > > 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.
