1.  Log in to UH UNIX (Secure Shell in Windows) or (Putty) and create a Java application that fulfills the following requirements:

• Write a small program that will read information from 2 files and will merge them into a third file, one line at a time. Example:

  First you should prompt/ask the user for two filenames. Validate those names.
  If they are empty or contain only blanks you should ask again. Always give the user the option to finish program execution.
  Once you have the 2 file names you will merge them one line at the time.
  
  Example:
  
  input file 1 contains
  1
  2
  3
  4
  5
  6
  7
  8
  9
  
  input file 2 contains
  a
  b
  c
  d
  e
  
  the output file should contain
  1
  a
  2
  b
  3
  c
  4
  d
  5
  e
  6
  7
  8
  9
   

• Make sure that your program doesn't crash.
• If only one file exists print a message saying so.  If no files exist print a message saying so.
   
• You need to write comments using the JAVA coding standard  - failure to do so will result in up to a 30% deduction from your score.

2.  Open Pine (Getting Started with Pine, PDF) and send an email with the file attached to ics111-lab@hawaii.edu account.

- Your e-mail should have the following subject:  lab X / lastname  (substitute the lab number for 'X', and lastname should be substituted for your lastname)  Not following this standard will result in a deduction of points.

- SEND YOUR .JAVA FILES WITH (ATTACHED) TO THE EMAIL.

3.  Check the webpage to make sure that the e-mail arrived at http://www2.hawaii.edu/~tp_200/bmf/ics111-lab.html
