Notes on getting MBCS to work 1. Take 2 batch files from JavaMBS\ExecutionInformation\DOSandWindows folder (compMBS and runMBS) and put them in JavaMBS\Code folder 2. Open batch files with TextPad or WordPad and edit them to tell the program where java.exe and javac.exe are located on your hard drive. Change the lines that says javac -classpath .;.\mbsbb.jar;.\mbsgui.jar *.java and change it to C:\j2sdk1.4.1_02\bin\javac.exe -classpath .;.\mbsbb.jar;.\mbsgui.jar *.java Make sure that you put the correct path for your java and javac programs. They might not be in the same directory as the one above. Make sure you change the lines in both batch files. Then just click on compMBS and it should compile all the files. Then click on runMBS and program should run. You then will be prompted to open a data file program. You may pick any one from Data file folder. C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\compiled MBCS\DataFiles
