DESCRIPTION

Typing the following to run the Java applets will FAIL:

   APPLET JAVAOS2\DEMO\TUMBLINGDUKE\EXAMPLE1.HTML
  
   APPLET FILE:\\\E:\JAVAOS2\DEMO\TUMBLINGDUKE\EXAMPLE1.HTML
  
Although applet viewer will launch, the applet itself will 
not be initialized.

RESOLUTION


When attempting to run Java applets from the OS/2 Warp 4 command line, 
you must follow appropriate syntax.  

The following example illustrates how to run the Java applets from the 
command line. Basically, you need to specify the path as you would to 
a local drive URL (Universal Resource Locator). 
Notice the forward slash - it is required!

Enter the following from the command line:

    APPLET FILE:\\\N:\JAVAOS2\DEMO\TUMBLINGDUKE/EXAMPLE.HTML
   
(where N: is the drive the Java examples are installed on)

Also, you can change to the actual subdirectory where the HTML 
(Hypertext Markup Language)
file resides and run the applet from there. For example, type:

    CD N:\JAVAOS2\DEMO\TUMBLINGDUKE       
    APPLET EXAMPLE1.HTML                 

(where N: is the drive the Java examples are installed on)

Note: APPLET.EXE is in the \JAVAOS2\BIN subdirectory.
