HI,

Question: Can I remove the two earlier versions?
Answer: Yes you can, they are installed in seperate directories and only the latest installed will be used. So the others have no sense.

Question: Do I have to DL the SDK and install it on my Win98 system to be able to work with the Java code?
Answer: You need at least an JRE (Jave Runtime Environment) to run java programs (scripts/applets).

Question: Which of these would be the correct one to download and install.
Answer: Sorry I don't know the answer to this question.

Question: Does the Java software self install?
Answer: Not sure what you mean by this, but Jave code or applets from a website will run automaticaly if a working JRE is installed.

Question: Do I have to make some adjustment in the "Autoexec.bat" file for the Java scripts to work"?
Answer: Nope, autoexec.bat has no influence on Java scripts.

Question: Do I have to install something into the "www" folder in the "easyPHP" directory to get the Chat Room to work inside of the websites I have working on the computer?
Answer: Sorry don't know, I don;t use easyPHP But I don't think so, Java will be downloaded by the client browser and then run at the client side. You need Java at the serverside when you run servlets.


Hope this helps,

Regards,

Huib
