• When running your programs on SEASnet (which you should do to make sure that they will work before submitting them), invoke jtb, pgi, etc., directly instead of using java -jar. For example, instead of running the command java -jar jtb.jar minijava.jj, you should merely run jtb minijava.jj.
• On SEASnet, if you are using your own shell rather than the default, make sure your PATH environment variable starts with /u/cs/class/cs132/cbin and /usr/local/J2SE-1.5/usr/jdk/instances/jdk1.5.0/bin so that you can easily execute CS132's executables and Java 1.5.
