Page xxiii, Learn J++ Now: Software is not a trial version
Page xxiii, Learn Visual J++ Now:
Under the heading titled "Installing Visual J++ on Your Computer," the
second sentence indicates that the software included is a 90-day trial
version. This is inaccurate only when the book is included with the Deluxe
Learning Edition package. If the book was bought by itself, the software is a 90-day trial edition.
Change:
"This is a 90-day trial version of the Standard Edition of Microsoft
Visual J++."
To:
"This is a Standard Edition of Microsoft Visual J++."
