Introduction

This document is the "User's Guide" for devPad.

devPad is a development environment for NetRexx and Java. It is completely written in NetRexx, and so it is not tied to a particular platform. All you need is a system that implements a Java Virtual Machine.

This document covers:

Installing the devPad executables (for any Java platform):
- How to install the devPad environment
- Problem solving
- Special note for JDK 1.1 users

The devPad documentation and software are distributed free of charge under the conditions explained below. If you download or use a devPad package you agree to the terms in the License Agreement included in the package as the file license.txt.
