RUNNING THE JS2 SHELL AFTER YOU'VE BUILT IT:
(Note the 3 underbars between "shell" and "Win32" in "DikDik_shell___Win32_Debug")
cd  (path to)/mozilla/js2/tests/cpp/winbuild/DikDik_shell___Win32_Debug
[(path to)/mozilla/js2/tests/cpp/winbuild/DikDik_shell___Win32_Debug] ./DikDik_shell.exe



Building JS2 on LINUX:

Building JS2 on MAC 9.1
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Get updated CodeWarrior Pro 7 tools !

Open (path to):mozilla:js2:tests:cpp:macbuild:js2_shell.mcp and build it.
There is also (path to ):mozilla:js2:tests:cpp:macbuild:parser_test.mcp, if you just want to try out the full parser
without getting complaints about unimplemented features from the back end.
