This READMEFIRST file provides late-breaking information that 
was not incorporated into the README files.  This file must be 
read in conjunction with the README files listed below.


General information
-------------------

If you are using SMP with the JIT enabled, do not use the 
-Xquickstart option.

In some sections of the READMEs there are detailed instructions 
on how to reach specific information on a Web site. At the 
time of writing these instructions were correct. However, 
since then, the Web sites might have changed.

If you use the Konqueror Web browser to view the READMEs you 
might encounter formatting problems. You will not encounter these 
problems if you use Netscape or Mozilla.


General note for WebSphere Version 4.0.x users
----------------------------------------------

In a WebSphere Version 4.0.x environment, use new directories for your 
Version 1.3.1 Java  Developer Kit and Runtime Environment and preserve 
your existing Version 1.3.0 directories,  so that you continue to use 
the Version 1.3.0 path as the default for WebSphere.
