Hi:
I got  these instructions for installing xerces.jar but I don't

the Jbindery is.


What version of the OS are you trying to use. JBindery goes back to
OS 9 or earlier. The MRJ 1.1 distributions of the JVM from pre-OS X.
You would need to get ahold of the MRJ toolkit stuff I think it was
in order to use JBindery.

I don't think Mike made the corollary point forcefully enough -- JBindery is a Mac OS 7-9 tool, and should not be used with Mac OS X. What it does is takes the necessary JAR files for a Java program and binds them together with a launching stub application to produce a double-clickable application launcher (for Mac OS 7-9, such launchers fire up Classic if used on an OS X system). It was replaced by MRJAppBuilder in about 1997 or 1998 (IIRC), which in turn was replaced by JarBundler (for OS X) around 2001 or 2002. Unless you are running on a vintage Mac you probably want to do something else.

I'm not a Xerces expert, but if you back up a step or two and post a question of the form "how do I use Xerxes to do XXX on the Mac" someone on this list probably knows a better way of doing it.
