System name:		bobbi-harlow.mit.edu
Type and version:	SPARC/4 8.4.17 (with mkserv)
Display type:		tcx

Shell:			/bin/athena/tcsh
Window manager:		ctwm-beta -W

What were you trying to do?
	Run /usr/bin/java

What's wrong:
	All the java* programs in /usr/bin are symlinks into /usr/java. 
On 8.4.15 machines, /usr/java is a symlink to /usr/java1.1 (There's also
a /usr/java1.2 which I suppose you have to put in your path explicitly).

On two 8.4.17 machines, xcb and bobbi-harlow, the /usr/java -> /usr/java1.1 
symlink is missing, and thus java in the path fails.

What should have happened:
	I should get a java 1.1 interpreter.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	java(1)
