Re: Jakarta POI JAR file

[Scott Klement <klemscot@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you've got a Windows PC that can open .ZIP files download this file:
http://apache.mirrors.pair.com/jakarta/poi/release/bin/poi-bin-2.5-final-20040302.zip

If you've got a Linux/BSD/Unix PC that can open GZipped tarballs, download
this file:
http://apache.mirrors.pair.com/jakarta/poi/release/bin/poi-bin-2.5-final-20040302.tar.gz

(The contents of those two files are the same, the only difference is the
archive program that was used to create them.)

Once you have that file, unzip it, and the .JAR files should be inside.
