	I am not sure if cat will work. It really depends how you split
	those files.

	apt is for installing and upgrading straight from the internet. If
	you downloaded the packages to local, then you can just

	dpkg -i package-name.deb

	Where is your windows 95 installed? Is it installed on the same computer
	where debian is?

	If it is, you can just mount the win95 partition, and install it from 
	there. eg. mount /dev/hda1 /mnt; dpkg -i /mnt/jdk1.1-xxxx.deb

	If they are installed on the different computer, I would suggest you 
	to get internet working. It is not that hard afterall... try use
	pppconfig... once you are on the internet, apt can just do whatever you
	want it to do...
