Thank you for the very informative response.  As you stated there is a link 
in /usr/bin that points to unpack200 in the Sun jre direcrtory.  That's the 
good news.  However, no matter what I try - where I install from, or creating 
other links to unpack200, installing as root (yes, I know) nothing works.  
Mind you I didn't try swinging the cat over my head (couldn't find her).  So 
I'm at a loss as to what to do.  Do you remember what steps you took to 
install?

Thanks again,
Lawrence
