PC Suite and JAR file problems

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.nokia (More info?)

Such problem doesn't occur in case if you manage JAVA files with Oxygen
Phone Manager II ( http://www.opm-2.com/ ). Our program doesn't modify the
registry in this way.

You can download the lates trial version of Oxygen Phone Manager II here :
http://www.opm-2.com/download/opm2.zip Trial version enables to upload JAVA
applications only with 'Phone' -> 'Load file to phone' menu

Full-featured JAVA manager is available in full version only. You can
register full version of Oxygen Phone Manager II here
http://www.opm-2.com/order/

If you have any questions and/or suggestions, concerning our
program, feel free to post them on our official forum
http://www.opm-2.com/forum/

Yes, for you and me and many others it's easy to undo, but as you said
before, "I wonder how inexperienced computer users do this...".

My point is, that Nokia should keep its hands off from things that don't
belong to them. JAR files are a SUN standard for Java archives, and as
such have many purposes, they are not invented by or solely used by
Nokia.

Regards, Paul.
