Hi Steven
Thanks for your information !
It was helpful for me and I do have more question(s) and a confirm:

You wrote:
>I have the following directories on my F: (boot) drive:
>j2re1.4.1_01
>JAVA11
>JAVA13
>java131

I do have a somewhat similar display of these Java directories. =

At the begin there was a JavaOS2 too ;-)

Now my question:
I would like to have this structure changed a bit like following:

x:\Java\OS2 (already deleted)
x:\Java\11
x:\Java\13
x:\Java\13\1
x:\Java\14\1
x:\Java\14\1\01
x:\Java\14\1\02

=2E.. etc

Like this I do have only one Java directory in the root.
The deep directory structure allows a fine splitting of =

all these versions with an easy change in the CONFIG.SYS !
With this deep and version separated structure I avoid =

destroying an earlier working environment !!

Unfortunately the installation process of Java does NOT =

give the chance of setting an exact path ...
=2E.. it is asking for the partition letter and then it =

end with a new directory entry in the root ;-(

Can I move this newly but dislikely placed directory =

to my preferred structure ???
What do I need do observe in this case ??
Changes of entries and where ?

>If this was my system, I would uninstall v1.3.

If it is my system I also would uninstall v1.3
and I learnt that 1.3.1 is the correct replacement !

Your suggestions are very appreciated ;-)
Cheers, svobi
