1.i am trying to read the text file and get all the parameters in my java file for the further references. now the problem is i was able to run the simple application through which i can fetch the data with Windows 2000 proffessionals but its not possible with Windows 98. what may be the problem with it?? if java is platform independent why it should give me an error like FileNotFoundException (though file is present in the same directory) exception on 98 and successful run on 2000 on the samemachine.(though i reloaded sdk1.3). the problem is not faced on the different machine with Windows 98
2. the problem stated above is not true with the other machine. on another machine i am able to fetch the data properly with Windows 98. But now the problem is— i am fetching that data from text file and using that data to set the parameters of the serial communication. with windows 2000 i can set those parameters easily and come out. but with 98 it gives me NullPointer exception at the linewhere i try to set parameters.
