Sorry about that, I skipped over the text in the Linux link that said

"MS-DOS also uses a PATH variable. However, it differs from Unix-like
operating systems in that it searches the user's current directory
before it searches in any directories in that variable."

I stopped reading at "MS-DOS." 

The are a few  facts you might want to know where Java is not quite
WORA.  Such things as:

1. are file names case-sensitive?

2. is . implied in the path (Java partly fixes this by adding a dot to
java.library.path)

3. what is the user's preferred currency (it has a bug now
masquerading as a feature).

4. what is the extension for native executables for 32 and 64 bit
mode.

By the way, I have posted at
http://mindprod.com/jgloss/filesignature.html
how to tell 16-bit, 32-bit and 64-bit Windows executables apart.
