[Coco] System gen problem - SOLVED!!

[Boisy G. Pitre]

I'm sorry you had so much trouble.

Since we're moving on to DriveWire 4, I think it makes more sense to change the page a bit to point out the Java server.  At some point I'll update everything, but it won't be happening soon. Things are just too busy for me right now.
