Linja: A Linda client Class for Java
------------------------------------

Author:		K.Y. Hui
Version:	1.02
Date:		12 November 1997


Requirements
------------

This version of Linda-client class is implemented in JDK 1.1.3.
However, it should work with JDK 1.1.0 and above.


Protocol
--------

This version of Linda client supports only the 'p' Linda
communication Prolog. Read the "README" file of the
Prolog Linda package for more information on the different
Linda protocols.

Installation
------------

1.	Compile the Java class by the command:

	javac LindaClient.java

	Note:	If the Java compiler "javac" in not on your path,
		you have to type the pathname correspondingly.

2.	Setup the Java class path environment variable "CLASSPATH"
	so that Java can locate the Linja package. If you use
	the "csh" shell, you can do so by adding the following line
	to your shell resource file "~/.cshrc":

		setenv CLASSPATH ~/linja_path\:.

	where "~/linja_path" is the directory that you installed
	the demo files. This will set the Java class path to
	the "~/kraft_linda" directory as well as the current directory.
	Then type:

		source ~/.cshrc

	to update your new environment.

	Note:	CLASSPATH points to the directory where you can
		find the "Linja" directory, not the "LindaClient.class"
		file.
