I need java floppy sized

[delusion]

I have a problem in that I do not have the internet and I have no
means of splitting files on the machine I do have for downloading
archives. This means that I am relying on split files already online
which are less than 1.4mb in size.

I need both the windows version of jdk and the linux version of jdk
and also the documentation in floppy sized chunks.

I have found:

http://www.shu.ac.uk/schools/cms/teaching/mp/jdkexe/jdkfloppies.htm

but this is only version 1.1.7 (non-swing).

I was wondering if anyone could help me by putting it on a server
somewhere?

or ...

Maybe you could advise me as to how I can split files without being
able to run a file splitter. I may be able to run a small program off
a floppy here but it's not as if I'll be able to install any software.

You're a lot better off learning how to split files, than to be
dependent on finding software in floppy-sized pieces.

Which OS runs on your download machine? On Linux, you can use dd or
split -b.

On windows I have no idea, but there are likely several such programs
freely available for download.

Do any IT mags ever include the Java SDK on the CD?
Hmm, probably not.

Get someone to download the SDK and stick it on a CD-R for you.

If you insist on floppies, i think winzip will archive onto floppies.

If you're willing to spend a few bucks, you can order the Sun ONE
Starter Kit <http://wwws.sun.com/software/sunone/starterkit/>, which is
$29.95 and has CDROMs with the JDK for Windoze and Linux, and a bunch of
articles, tutorials, and videos.

However, by that point you might as well get a decent broadband ISP
(I'm sure they have those even in the UK) so you can download software.

if you are running win, then try download the filesplitter program
*without* installer at http://www.dekabyte.com/filesplitter/download.html .
You don't need to install anything, just run the executable (why not from a
floppy...)

If you have the Java source code, you can convert it to a standalone
executable with Jet that does not even need a runtime. There are
other ways to create exe file that do need runtimes.

You might have to avoid any sort of GUI interface to squeeze it into
1.44 MB.

Consider putting it on a self contained CD.
