-
To run JFLAP on your PC you need two things: the Java virtual
machine and the JFLAP program (a file
JFLAP.jar).

If you don't have a java virtual machine, get one.
Of course you should all have this!
-
Install JFLAP.
Choose Get JFLAP from the menu at jflap.org,
and follow the directions there.
-
Run JFLAP.
to run JFLAP you go to Start
->
Run... and type
java -jar "C:\Documents and Settings\JFLAP.jar"
in the box that pops up. Obviously, if you saved
JFLAP.jar somewhere else, you'll use that
path.
