Troubleshooting

Solutions to common problems.

• I doesn't work. I have JDK 1.1.x installed
  You need to install JDK1.2.2 or later.
• The server never exits so that I can start the client
  Start the client from a separate console, or start the server with "start java -jar server.jar" on Windows-systems, and "java -jar server.jar &" on UNIX-systems.
