From: Ugo Jude EASYNET FR> Date: 29 aug 1996 Subject: java win31 dear shogi players, I thought it was an important news for all win3.x users : you can now download adk for win 3.1x from alphaworks,wich enables you to access java sites, at http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com (the server's very busy, got a lot of 'socket noy cennected' errors,please try to reload many times you'll get in in the end.). the file is ~3mbs large and you need wing and win32s ver 1.30 (you'll probably have to download the pw1118.exe -~2.5 mbs- they release). making things working seemed a bit complicated to me but everything's explained in the docs.I tried it to connect to java shogi server and *it works* (well, on my 486dx33 8mbs pc it crashed when loading the applet with a message such as 'unhandled exeption...' ,to wich most users of windows on old machines should be used).i didn't tried again 'cause it's late in the night ,but i thought some people would enjoy to read that message. hope to see you soon on java shogi server. ugo Jude.
