[GreggoryShaw]

Here is what I did to get Mercury 1.9.4 running on OS/2.

***Note: Mercury runs on java 1.42 or 1.50, the directions
    below are for jre 1.5.0_07

Homepage:
http://www.mercury.im/

1) Download Mercury 1.9.4 from:
   http://17juju17.free.fr/

2) Use INNOWIN from Acrobat 5, just drop the Self-extracting archive on the
    Acrobat 5 icon.

   2a) Here is the zip file: http://www.ecsware.org/home?func=fileinfo&id=85
        with a run.cmd for java 1.4.2 included. The file below is for java .1.50.

3) Create this CMD file to start Mercury and that's it!   If anyone
    wants the package email me.

Updating Mercury 1.9.4 to 1.9.5

Homepage:
http://www.mercury.im/

Updating Mercury means installing a newer release of the same version over the current installed Mercury. For example, updating can be done from 1.9.4 to 1.9.5.
http://files.mercury.im/1.9.5/dMSN.jar

If you wish to switch to a different version, for example switching from 1.9 to 2.0, the easiest solution is to first remove the old release followed by installing the new release.

Instructions

Updating Mercury is done by overwriting mercury program directory/lib/dMSN.jar by a newer version of the file.

   1. Download the new dMSN.jar, as of writing 1.9.5 dMSN.jar is the newest.
          * Downloading can best be done by right mouse clicking and choosing save link as or similar, left mouse clicking may not show a download window like we want..
   2. Go to mercury program directory/lib/
          * (If you don't know how, click the link)
   3. Move the new dMSN.jar into the lib directory, choose yes when asked if you wish to overwrite the file.
