Installing Java on Openserver 6

Forgive the sheer volume of verbiage:

Sco Openserver 6 - how to install Java 1.42_14b:
The documentation says:
"Make a subdirectory and unwind the tar file into that subdirectory.
mkdir JAVA142
cd JAVA142; tar -xf ../OSR6_Java2_142.VOLS.tar
Run the Software Manager with the command:
scoadmin software
or
custom
or double-click on the Software Manager icon in the desktop.
Pull down the "Software" menu and select "Install New".
When prompted for the host from which to install, choose the local machine and then "Continue".
In the "Select Media" menu, pull down the "Media Device" menu. Select "Media Images", then choose "Continue".
When prompted for the "Image Directory", enter the directory where you unwound the tar file of the package to be installed and choose "OK".
When prompted to select the software to install, the single software package in the directory will by highlighted. You can deselect any of the optional packages that you do not wish to install at this time. Click on "Install".

I don't think Java is already installed. When I type in "java -version", it can't find anything. I did a find . -name java* and found a few files with "java" in them, but nothing suggesting a JRE.

When I run "scoadmin software", the selection process makes no sense. It shows "Java 2 Standard Edition" with an asterist to the left. If I hit enter, indented lines appear below that. It says, "Total 6, selected 1", or "Total 3, Selected 1". If you hit enter at the line, it either expands more lines or contracts to one lines. It makes no sense as to what is "selected", or even how to select it. I know I have to have a "URW" urwfonts installed along with this, but it isn't at all clear how to do that with this senseless installation selection process.

Finally, I just hit "continue" at the first single line that appears, and it then gives a screen that says, "Upgrading components warning - these components selected for installation will be upgraded". And it shows "Java 2 Standard Edition (J2SE). 1.4.2_08 (ver1.4.2 Hb) and also "URW ++ free X11fonts(version 2.0Ba)
Upgrading the above components will cause them to be removed and replaced with upgraded components. There is an option to " Leave replaced components on hard disk (loaded only)", but it is not clear how to check it. When I finally hit "CTRL Continue" and continue, it says "Error details - Assertion failed: path ! = NULL, file "dbaseStanza."

What is going on? This makes no sense. How can I find out if java is installed on this Unix Openserver 6 system? Why does it think it is, even though I can't do "java -version"?

I should note again I am logged in as root and that I'm trying to install 1.4.1.14b and urwfonts 2.0

DACS.JAVA(7)						  DACS Miscellaneous Information					      DACS.JAVA(7)

NAME

       dacs.java - DACS Java support

DESCRIPTION

       This document describes support for Java provided by DACS.

       To enable Java support, DACS must be configured using the --enable-java flag. It may also be necessary to specify the location of the Java
       commands and include files. See dacs.install(7)[1].

	   Note
	   Java support is currently very limited and should be considered experimental. It is currently only possible to call dacsauth(1)[2] and
	   dacscheck(1)[3] using the Java Native Interface (JNI) provided. The command line arguments to both of these commands are exactly as
	   documented in their manual pages. Each argument is passed as a String.

	   The code is not thread-safe and is probably not suitable for being called many times within a particular process due to assumptions it
	   makes about dynamic memory allocation.

	   There are no immediate plans to improve or extend Java support. Using the existing capability to build the JNI layer, however, it
	   should not be difficult for an experienced Java programmer to build upon the example Java code provided.

       With Java support enabled, building DACS will copy the JNI shared library and a .jar file to the library directory (default:
       /usr/local/dacs/lib), and the JNI include files to the include directory (default: /usr/local/dacs/include).

       The tools/java/jni distribution directory contains a simple script called javarun that demonstrates how to run dacsauth or dacscheck as a
       Java application. For example, to validate the Unix password for user somebody, run (as root):

	   ./javarun dacsauth -m unix suff -user somebody -prompt

DIAGNOSTICS

       The return codes are as documented in the command's manual page.
