The jpb Package
The files listed below belong to the
jpb package. Use
your browser to download them. Put them in a subdirectory named
jpb that is
inside the directory where you keep your Java programs.
Convert.java
DrawableFrame.java
SimpleIO.java
Here's a more detailed description of the installation
process:
1. First, create a directory (folder) on your hard
drive named jpb.
Make sure that the letters are all lower-case: jpb, not Jpb or JPB. Put this directory inside the
directory where you will keep your Java programs.
2. Point to the Convert.java link above and click
the right mouse button. A menu will appear. Select "Save link as..." or
"Save target as...". A file dialog box will appear. Navigate to the
jpb directory
that you created in Step 1 and save the file there. Before you click the
"Save" button, check to see what type of file is shown in the "Save as
type:" area of the file dialog. If it says "All Files (*.*)", then you're
in good shape. Otherwise, select "Text Files (*.txt)" before pressing
"Save".
3. Repeat step 2 for the DrawableFrame.java and
SimpleIO.java
files.
4. Open a DOS window and navigate to the
jpb directory.
Check that the Convert.java, DrawableFrame.java, and
SimpleIO.java
files are in the directory. Also check that these files have the correct
names. (Some browsers may alter the file names.) If the files have the
wrong names, use the DOS rename command to rename the files.
Next, check that the files have the correct contents. Enter the following
command in the DOS window:
edit Convert.java
You will see the contents of the Convert.java file. If you see lines
containing <
and > at the
beginning and end of the file, you will need to remove these. (Some
browsers add HTML commands to the file as they save it.) Save the file.
Repeat the process for the DrawableFrame.java and
SimpleIO.java
files. |
