- HotSauce Plugin Manual
-
-
- Note: These are the instructions for the plugin. If you downloaded a whole
- folder, you downloaded the standalone application and not the plugin. Go
- here for the manual for the standalone application. Depending on the
- platform, the plugin is called ProjectXPlugInPPC, ProjectXPlugIn68K or
- npProjX.dll. The standalone application is called Project X.
-
- How to Install & Use Project X Plug-in
-
- Requirements:
-
- * Computer running Mac OS (PowerPC or 68K with or without an FPU) or
- Windows NT or Windows 95.
- * CyberDog 1.1, Netscape Navigator (2.0 or higher) or Internet Explorer.
- * The ProjectX Plug-in.
-
- Installation:
-
- 1. Download and place ProjectX Plugin in the CyberDog, Netscape Navigator
- or Internet Explorer Plug-in folder.
- Note: Irrespective of your browser, what you need is the Netscape
- Plugin. The same plugin can be used by all three browsers. Cyberdog
- users --- please read the "Cyberdog Plug-in Support!" section of the
- Cyberdog pages.
- Windows users:
- o Make sure you unzip the file first!
- o The Plugin is a file called npProjX.dll. It is not a .exe file.
- 2. Start CyberDog, Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer (or restart if
- already loaded). Windows users : make sure that your display is set to
- 16 bit color, or else, the XSpaces will appear very dull.
-
- Project X Plugin will now be available to view XSpace enabled web sites from
- within your navigator. Here are some XSpaced web sites.
-
