After downloading and decompressing the archive, please review the readme
before continuing with the installation. Be sure to remove the current beta
before installing, do not install on top of the current beta. The archive
contains a refresh of IBM Java so it is larger than usual.
Please file problem reports by selecting "How to give feedback" from the help
menu or by e-mail to netbeta@vnet.ibm.com. Thanks to everyone who provided
feedback on the first beta.
Please do not upload this beta to other ftp sites or online services. We track
the download count and because of all the cross posting of the first beta we
were not able to get an OS/2 user count.
Thanks!
