Ok, so I added the ln, and now I've made some progress. Now when I run 
the script I get:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: 
arlequin/ArlequinApp


The entire contents of the script that is supposed to start everything is:

jre -cp arlequin.jar -cp swingall.jar arlequin.ArlequinApp

I have now learned that the most recent version of this program is 
written in C++, but has yet to be ported to Linux. Eventually it will 
be, they say, so that Java won't be a requirement. I'd still like to get 
the previous version working on Etch, just for the satisfaction of 
'beating' it, but I'm beginning to suspect that the problem is with 
Arlequin, and not my JAVA install.

Thanks everyone for your help, and let me know if you have any other 
suggestions.

Cheers,

Tyle
