Distribution Information & Installation Guide

1. Overview

Pictureviewer is a Java applet that runs in any browser that supports the Java (tm) plugin. The software requires the use of a VM supporting the JDK version 1.3.1 or above.

2. Distribution

The software is distributed as a zip file, pictureviewer.zip, that contains both the java software and the image files that the applet utilizes. When unzipped, the distribution produces a directory that contains the file pictureviewer.jar, and an image directory.

pictureviewer.jar - a self contained jar that includes all necessary java classes to run the applet

image - a directory that has all images needed by the applet at run time. The directory should contain the files:


pictureviewer_applet_background.gif
left_arrow_clicked.gif	right_arrow_clicked.gif
left_arrow.gif	right_arrow.gif
left_arrow_selected.gif	right_arrow_selected.gif
