Try using 1.1.2, it's got more than a year of further development under 
its belt.

When you run java programs, you have to pass kaffe the name of the class 
which contains the main method you want to run, and that class must be 
on the $CLASSPATH. It's a concept similar to running programs and $PATH 
under Unix.

So if babylonServer is the class you want to run, you need to add its 
jar file to the CLASSPATH, and then you can run the program as
kaffe babylonServer

For more detailed information, please read the MANUAL.TXT file in the 
babylon 2.1 BETA distribution you downloaded ;)
