Thanks for the suggestion, we'll change that. It never bit me
personally because i have Java in D:\j2sdk1.4.1_02

The build process was indeed broken. It has been fixed by Tilo Muetze,
but hasn't been committed to CVS yet. I think Tilo is on holiday now,
I'm sure he'll commit the fixes soon after he comes back.

In the meantime, the "good" news is that you aren't missing anything
if you can't build the docs. They contain nothing that isn't already
in the Borland IB6 beta doc set. So they won't help you with those API
calls you're investigating, sorry!

I can still send you - or anyone - the fixed version by private email
(note: 7 Mb) but as I said: nothing really new in there. But this is
going to change in the next couple of months.
