-This version of Kaffe is not supplied with a copy of Sun's class library.

+Running Kaffe
+=============
+
+Before running Kaffe it is necessary to configure the environment.
+This requires the setting of CLASSPATH, KAFFEHOME and LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
+For the standard installation these would be defined as follows:
+
+        CLASSPATH=.:/usr/local/share/kaffe/classes.zip

+
+A file "ENVIRONMENT" is generated by the configure program which contains
+a /bin/sh environment setup.  This may help you to figure out what to
+set to what if you alter the standard installation point.
+
+The source comes with a test program "HelloWorldApp" which can be found
+in the test directory in the distribution.  After installation, run this
+program from the test directory by typing the following:
+
+        cd <java source directory>/test
+        kaffe HelloWorldApp
+
+This should load and execute the HelloWorld application.  If all is well
+it will print "Hello World!".   As a further test you might like to try
+compiling the HelloWorldApp source.  To do this type the following:
+
+        javac HelloWorldApp.java
+
+"javac" is a shell script which has been provided to invoke Kaffe on
+the standard Java compiler.  If all is well, the application should compile
+without incident.
