In addition to bug fixes, the J2SE 1.3.1 update also includes an enhanced Java Plug-in that is easier to use and configure, a new error handling mechanism in the Java virtual machines, and localization of the JRE into ten languages (Simplified and Traditional Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Swedish) on all platforms as well as localization of the SDK into two languages (English and Japanese). Please consult with the J2SE 1.3.1 CHANGES documentation to determine if the specific issues addressed in version 1.3.1 justify an upgrade to your existing Java technology installations. If deploying version 1.3.1, we recommend that our customers follow their standard test procedures for Java technologies and deployments. The 1.3.1 update is cumulative as it includes all of the fixes from 1.3 and earlier updates. You do not need to install an earlier version in order to install 1.3.1. The JavaTM 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SETM) has revolutionized computing with the introduction of a stable, secure and feature-complete development and deployment environment designed from the ground up for the Web. It provides cross-platform compatibility, safe network delivery, and smartcard to supercomputer scalability. It provides software developers with a platform for rapid application development, making it possible to deliver products to market in Internet time. It defies traditional software development and deployment models by delivering on the promise of cross-platform compatibility.

Mint		Computing Services Help Desk 208 Hillsborough Bldg.	Maple 6 - Mint The Mint application provides a robust syntax-checking facility for Maple code files. USING MINT: Launch Mint and enter the filename in the parameters box. To store the output of Mint in a file, you must use Mint from a DOS session. For example: To run Mint on a file called mint_in.txt and store the output in a file called mint_out.txt, issue the following command from a DOS session: mint k:\mint_in.txt > k:\mint_out.txt You can specify the level of information you require by specifing the following options before the filename. If the info_level option is not specified, the default is level 2. To choose a level, use the option -i info_level where info_level is one of the following. 0 no information 1 severe error messages only 2 severe and serious error messages 3 warnings and error messages 4 usage, warning, and error messages Mint displays a report for each procedure in the file, followed by a global report for statements not contained within any procedure. If the severity of errors found within a procedure is less than what info_level specifies, then Mint does not produce a report for that procedure. A severe error is an undisputable error, such as a break statement outside of any loop. A serious error is almost certainly a coding error, such as two nested loops using the same control variable, or code appearing immediately after a return statement. Warnings indicate possible coding errors, such as using an equation as a stand-alone statement (suggesting that an assignment was probably intended).

Notepad		Computing Services Help Desk 208 Hillsborough Bldg.	The Notepad program provides a simple interface for creating text documents. Notepad doesn’t contain any of the complex features that you’ll find in word processing software (such as Microsoft Word), but it is a very useful tool. The Notepad application has an feature called wordwrap that lets it display a paragraph of text as a single line that runs beyond the borders of the Notepad window, requiring you to use the scroll bar along the bottom of the window to view the entire paragraph. You can disable Wordwrap by clicking the Edit menu followed by the Word Wrap command. This command will cause Notepad to break each line once it reaches the border of the Notepad window. You can use Notepad to view and edit a wide variety of files, including HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) files. Notepad is a better choice to edit such files because it doesn’t add unseen formatting characters as do most word processing programs.
