                   HotJava(tm) Browser, Version 1.1.5

This HotJava Browser 1.1.5 package DOES NOT CONTAIN the Java Runtime 
Environment (JRE), or the SSL code, so it does not contain any platform 
dependencies.  It is meant to be used on platforms for which we do not 
provide a browser bundled with the JRE, i.e. platforms other than 
Windows95/NT4.0 or Solaris2-Sparc.  (You can also use it on these platforms, 
if you prefer not to download the JRE with the browser because you already 
have the JDK or JRE.  However, note that this is not an officially tested 
and supported release, and that it does not contain SSL code.)

We expect that this product will run with most JDK or JRE versions 1.1.6 or 
later ported to your platform. (See NOTE below.)  It is also likely to run
with earlier 1.1.x releases of the JDK or JRE.

NOTE: While we expect that this product will work with most JDK/JRE 
versions 1.1.6 or later, this has NOT been tested on various platforms, 
and it is therefore NOT supported. Because the HotJava Browser was 
originally bundled with the JDK, it relies on classes in the sun.* 
hierarchy. While this hierarchy is included in many ported versions
of the JDK, it is not a required element, so the HotJava Browser can't be 
guaranteed to run with all ported versions of the JDK or JRE.

You will need to download a separate version of the JRE or the JDK if you 
do not already have one.  You can see the JavaSoft JDK Web site at 
http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.1/index.html for information about
supported operating systems and third-party ports.


Starting the HotJava Browser
----------------------------

You will need to look over the "hotjava" script located in the bin
directory, and change it as necessary to work in your environment.  This
is a Solaris script used to set necessary environment variables, parse 
the command line options, etc.  

The script is actually quite simple.  All it's really doing is determining
what the name of the Java runtime is, and passing in some paths.  It ends up
launching HotJava with this command:

	java -ms4m -mx32m -Dhotjava.home=$HOTJAVA_HOME -Djava.home=$JAVA_HOME sunw.hotjava.Main

* If you're using the unbundled JRE instead of the JDK, use the command "jre" 
  instead of "java".

* -ms4m and -mx32m influence how much memory the Java runtime gives HotJava.

* HOTJAVA_HOME is the directory where HotJava is installed.  There should
  be a directory called "lib" under this.

* JAVA_HOME is the location of your JDK or JRE.

The bin directory also includes other sample start-up or command files for 
launching the HotJava Browser, which you may be able to use without 
modification, depending on your platform.


Submitting Bugs
---------------

Once you have the HotJava Browser running, use Help->Submit a Bug to send
us bug information.  If you cannot get the HotJava Browser running, you can
report a bug using the form at http://java.sun.com/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi.

Please note, however, that because this is not a tested and supported version
of the browser, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to address or 
respond to bug reports.
