Rick,
   Thanks. I've downloaded the bin file. I'm a little troubled by the
installation instructions:

3) Change to the directory in which you want to install. Type:
cd <directory path name>
For example, to install the software in the /usr/java/ directory, Type:
cd /usr/java/

QUESTION: Where is the standard place to install this software? It
seems to me that I should not just invent /usr/java as it won't be in
my path. Where did you put it?

Thanks,
Mark
