-
- The iSlide Pro Studio is a java application and an environment
- for developing your website navigation files and pages.
- An application is not applet. That means that it will not
- work if embedded in an HTML page. A java application, like
- any other programme, is designed to run on a single computer
- in a stand-alone fashion. A java application uses a stand-alone
- interpreter called a java viewer to run on the file system.
- It does not use a browser. The java viewer is part of the
- operating system and should already be present on your
- computer. For further information, please refer to the
- HTML documentation contained in this package or see below.
-
- The package also contains a number of trial applets which
- you may access via the documentation. The applets are
- indeed applets, and therefore run in webpages and on
- intranets. The applets are much more widely tested and
- widely compatible than the development environment. This is
- because you will only need the development environment on
- your own computer, but the applets will have to stand the
- test of being used by everyone who visits your website.
- The applets are therefore JDK 1.0.2 compatible and can be
- used on java-compatible versions of Netscape 3 and MSIE 3
- as well as the later versions of these and other browsers.
-
-
- SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS FOR iSlide Pro Studio
-
- The application has been optimised for a 800x600
- screen. A smaller screen will not work. A larger one
- is OK.
-
- You must have Microsoft's java viewer version 4.79.2339
- or later installed in the main Windows directory (not
- a sub-directory). The easiest way to ensure that this
- is the case is to have Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0
- (or higher) installed, as this installs the necessary
- software for you. It is not necessary to install the
- Active Desktop components of MSIE 4.
-
-
- USING OR TRYING OUT THE APPLETS
-
- No special installation is required. After installing
- iSlide Pro Studio, you will find a large amount of
- HTML documentation included. Start any of this documentation
- and you should find it easy to navigate to large selection
- of demonstrations of the applets. iSlide Pro Studio can be
- used for making further example implementations.
-
-
- STARTING iSlide Pro Studio
-
- This can only be started by clicking the icons created
- on the Windows interface when installing it.
-
