Yes, but you'll need to be careful as to how it gets installed. The easiest way is to use a tar ball and simply unpack it into it's own directory. You can then manually set the CLASSPATH and PATH for the 1.1.7 version. Make sure that the PATH has the 1.1.7 bin directory before /bin &amp;&nbsp;/usr/bin so that you get the 1.1.7 executables.

What is a tar ball? I extracted the tar file and got 5 packages, each starting with &quot;SUNW&quot; and the instructions state to run the pkgadd command. Any comments on this?

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
