RE: JFOR in Windows

Thanks for this. You were right. I needed to add the logkit jar into the
classpath.

However, I then came across a second error - that the input file could not
be found. It turns out that the specification of the input path requires
that the drive letter is missed out. In other words, I now have JFOR working
on my Windows XP machine, but only by using the following at the command
line:

java -cp <path to xerces jar>;<path to jfor jar>;<path to logkit
jar>ch.codeconsult.jfor.main.CmdLineConverter <path to fo infile> <path to
rtf outfile>

where <path to xxx jar> is like c:\jfor\xxx.jar
and <path to fo infile> is like "\documents and
settings\myself\desktop\helloworld.fo"
and <path to rtf outfile> is like "c:\documents and
settings\myself\desktop\helloworld.rtf"
and you are issuing the command when the current drive is the same as that
on which the infile is to be found (current directory on that drive appears
not to matter).

Hope this is of use to future windows/jfor users? I'd be grateful if anyone
could point out if I'm missing something obvious, as the requirement that
the current drive is relevant to finding the infile requires inconvenient
drive switching when automating.

Regards

David

I'm running a recent version from cvs, and the lib directory includes 
logkit-1.0.1.jar (along with xerces). I expect the tar.gz distribution 
will include all the required jars, so you could look at that.
