For CS112 students:

The editor (emacs) and compiler (javac) are located on the SGI machine hermite.csc.smith.edu. To view the applets, use the Netscape browser on the local machine where you do your work (which can be a PC, MAC, Sparc station or even an SGI workstation).

Telnet from any computer to hermite.csc.smith.edu.
Type "emacs filename.java" to write your code.
Type "javac filename.java" to compile your code. The result is in class file(s).
Use emacs again to create an html file.
Put the java file, the class file, and the HTML file in your public_html directory by typing "mv filename public_html/filename".
Change the permissions with "chmod a+r filename".
View the applet with Netscape.
If you are moving your files into a separate directory in public_html, make sure that that directory has the appropriate read-execute permissions by typing "chmod a+rx directoryname".

Log on to a workstation with your class account.
In the local window, type "xhosts + hermite."
