The new versions of Phex only work under
Java13x
(see below for versions that work under Java11)
Here is a screen capture of Phex using the new Aqua Theme

For Java 1.3 users:
Instead of using a special script to run phex, I created a
generic set of scripts to install and run java apps -- all
you
have to do is drop a .jar file on a desktop object and it
will
create a program object to run the java app.
Get the following file from hobbes:
Run_Java:
Generic Java13x app installer -- 10 kB
If you want some cheesy phex icons grab the following file:
Phex icons -- 34
kB
All that should be required to start the program is to go
to the commandline and type "java -jar phex.jar" with the
proper paths to your Java13x bin directory and the
directory
that contains the phex.jar
However, with the run_java package installed, all you have
to
do is drop the phex.jar file on the "Create Java Object"
icon.
Also, with the run_java package, you can just double-click
on the phex.jar file (or a shadow of the phex.jar file).
The Phex team made extensive changes to the code so, here
is
the new jar-file:
This version will only work under Java 1.3 :(
phex.jar (version
0.7.3) -- 1.4 MB
They have also added the ability to "skin" Phex... just
unzip
the following file into your phex directory and then select
"Aqua" under the "User Interface" section of the "Phex
Options"
dialog.

Phex (version 0.1.1) Overview:
==============================
Put simply, Phex is a java-based gnutella client.
http://forums.gnutelliums.com/
While it is not the prettiest client around,
Phex
is certainly one of the most useful...
Most importantly, it works just fine under OS/2.
Phex is derived from the code-base of Furi:
http://www.jps.net/williamw/furi/
Furi is a great gnutella client but, it hasn't been
updated in a long time and it includes a lot of code
that most users don't seem to use e.g. the IRC/Chat
modules.
Konrad Haenel cleaned-up the Furi code and is planning
some useful enhancements.

Ok, ok, ok, |
The Phex Team is actively developing the new code-base (as
