Until now you had to go straight to metal and edit the html code line by line.
No more!
The configurator is a graphical user interface (GUI) tool to configure the applet and its parameters. It takes the burden out of configuring the dipu applets.
Your projects will be less error prone, due to the fact that
And last but not least, you don't need any html experience to make your applet work !
Although diputab will work on any java browser (jdk1.02), the configurator requires
java 2.0 (jdk1.2+).
You can freely download the java runtime environment (jre) from the sun's jre website http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/jre/
or from sun's website http://java.sun.com .
The configurator configures your web page completely, but it does not copy the required .class and .jar files to the destination. So before you can test your web page you need to copy those file to the required directory.
These files are:
Just copy those two files to the directory where you will be using your applet.
diputab.jar is just the diputab.class file but compressed.
For compatibilty reasons it is best to copy both those files to the destination
directory.
If the browser supports archive (jar) files, then the jar file will be used instead of the
uncompressed class file, saving you a lot of download time over slow links.
Both methods require a java2 compatible environment to be present and correctly configured.
