Microcomputer Help Via E-mail

microhelp@oregon

Stumped by a microcomputing problem (not homework)?
The Computing Center's Microcomputer Consulting and Services has established the above e-mail address to serve you. Describe your problem in as much detail as possible, and a consultant will respond within one working day.

If you have further questions, stop by the Microcomputer Consulting office (CC 202a), or call them at 6-4412. The office is open M-F 9-5 p.m.

PC (Wintel) Tools

• Bash shell.
• TextPad is a shareware editor for Windows that makes it easy to edit, compile, and run Java in the lab. It can be found on the Duckware CDROM along with the University site license. You can also download it directly from Textpad.

Mac Tools

MacOS X has very good Java support; see http://developer.apple.com/java. The JBuilder environment has a good reputation, but you don't need it for this class. Codewarrior is a good commercial development environment with good student discounts (you can find it in the UO Bookstore), but you may be better off for now using just the basic, free tools.

Mac OS 9 and lower have terrible Java support. You will not be able to use Mac OS 9 or lower to do your assignments, because the Java SDK provided by Apple is an implementation of Java 1.1.8 ("Java 1"), while we will be using Java 2.
