Running the program with Java outside a browser
If you have a Java runtime interpreter installed on your computer,
you can run the program without using a browser. You need to
download the files
BIO99R1Q3App.class
and
AppletConsoleApp.class
to your computer.
In the directory containing these files, execute the application
BIO99R1Q3App.class with the command
java BIO99R1Q3App.class
substituting the name of your Java runtime interpreter for
java. Alternatively, follow the instructions
given in your Java documentation.
Obtaining a Java runtime interpreter
Free Java runtime interpreters are available for most major computer
systems. See Sun's Java website
for details (look for 'Java Runtime Environment').
