Could a DOS batch file be coded to ask for a directory name
and then unzip the file into it? It`s not a .jar file, just
a regular .zip file.

Seems that setting up the environment variables is something
that even the installation of Java leaves up to the user.

Installing a new java app

The only way I can see is to make a DOS batch file. They would have to have
their $PATH
variable set up correctly to use Java though.

**I don`t use Windows, so I`m not sure what I have to do to get

**
**Any suggestions?

Installing a new java app

The zip program the person uses would do that for them. The batch file would be
in the zip
file with your app and would basically just say: java MyClass and you hope that
the java
installation was done right (if at all). Any way to make it an applet? That way
you just
tell the person to double-click on the html file.
