1.  Download Java SDK (as of 7/10/2002, the most current version is 1.4)

	http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/download.html

	click to download the version for your computer.  The Windows English version
  	is about 10Mb in size, so be prepared for a long wait if using a modem.


2.  Follow installation instructions at http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/jre/install.html


3.  Start command prompt:  (Start->Run-> then type "Command")

	Try creating a sample java "hello world" program and see if you
	can compile it.  For example, make the following file
	named "Hello.java" :

		import java.io.*;
		class Hello {
 		 public static void main(String[] args)
		 {
			String s;
			s = "hello, world";
			System.out.println(s);
		 }
		}

	Compile it via:
	
		javac Hello.java

	Run it via:
	
		java Hello

	If it compiles and runs, then Java should be installed correctly.
