Installing JDraw: Copy 'jdraw.jar' to the directory in which you wish to install JDraw. For this example I will refer to this directory as 'C:\Jdraw\'. If you use a different directory, substitute the commands accordingly. Change to this directory and type 'jar xf jdraw.jar' to unpack the JDraw package. Setting up the classpath in order to run JDraw: Change directory to 'C:\jdraw\jvm' (or '\jvm'> ). Type 'edit setcp.bat' to enter the text editor. If you installed JDraw into a different directory (from 'C:\Jdraw\'), change the line 'SET CLASSPATH=c:\jdraw\jvm' to 'SET CLASSPATH=\jvm'. Save and Exit. Type 'setcp' to run the batch file and setup the classpath properly. Important: To reset to your original classpath type 'C:\autoexec' when you are through with JDraw for this session. Running JDraw: Change to the 'C:\jdraw\jvm' directory (or '\jvm'> ) and type 'java jdraw.main'. System should load.
