I open up a Cmd window.

I CD to my java source directory and look at the code I wrote and compiled
and compiled and ran on this machine in the last weeks and months.

I type 'javac'

It prints "'Javac' is not recognized as an internal or external command"

That was what made me believe that my Sun Hotspot suite had been deleted.

I had my response to you all ready and loaded... but just to be absolutely
certain I searched the entire filesystem for Java*

And Javac is still there! It appears that somehow the PATH was clobbered.
But that the Java suite wasn't deleted. So now I have to figure out what
happened to my PATH environment variable, and any other variables I had
set up.

My apologies for my error, it doesn't appear that SP2 deletes Java.
