Additional files required:
    If you are running on a Windows platform, you may obtain a free
    copy of the Java(TM) Development Kit for Windows from 
    http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/download-windows.html
    The file you will obtain is approximately 17MB:

    jdk12-win32.exe ----------------- Java Development Kit 1.2 

    Sun's license agreement does not allow this version of JDK to
    be copied, except for your own use, so I can't include it here.
    However, many Java(TM) books come with a CD-ROM that does include
    the JDK for Windows.

My Installation Notes:
On my machines, here's how I installed the JDK 1.2:

1. For a Windows system, make a directory for your Java(TM)
   installation. I called my directory C:\language.
   You'll  need to put the following file in that directory:
      jdk12-win32.exe
   You can obtain this file from Sun's download site
   (http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/download-windows.html)
   or from CD-ROMs that come with some Java(TM) books. I couldn't
   include the file here because of licensing restrictions.
   Once the file is in place, go to that directory follow the
   installation directions from
   http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/install-windows.html.
   You'll end up with a subdirectory called jdk1.2 that contains
   the JDK installation.

2. For Linux systems, log on as the root user, and change to
   your installation directory (I used /usr/local/lib). Then find out
   which C runtime libraries are installed on your machine. You can
   do this with the command
      ls -l /lib/libc.so.*
   What you are looking for is lines of the form /lib/libc.so.<num>
   If all you see are lines where <num> is 5, then you have libc5, 
   and you should copy jdk_1_1_7-v1a-libc5-x86_tar.gz to your 
   installation directory. If you have a line where <num> is 6, then
   you have glibc and you should copy jdk_1_1_7-v1a-glibc-x86_tar.gz
   to your installation directory. Then run these commands:
      tar -xzvf jdk_1_1_7-v1a-*-x86_tar.gz
      rm jdk_1_1_7-v1a*x86_tar.gz
      ln -s jdk117_v1a java
   This installation puts the java executables in the directory
   /usr/local/lib/java/bin, so I would suggest that you then add this
   directory to your path.

3. To install all of the JDK documentation on your hard drive,
   Windows users can copy jdk12-doc.zip to the directory that
   already has jdk1.2 as a subdirectory (in my case, this was the
   C:\language directory). Also copy unzip.exe to this directory
   and then execute: 
      unzip jdk1.2
