# Configuration Information

This site has been extensively tested using the following

Operating Systems - Windows NT4,95/98/ME/XP, RedHat Linux 5.1 (with KDE 2.0 desktop), Mac OS 9, FreeBSD 4.3 and BeOS

Hardware - PC's using Intel, AMD and Cyrix processors, Apple iMac, Various laptops.

Browsers - Microsoft Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, Opera

While the site is workable on all the hardware tested, the myriad of possible configurations precludes fully guaranteeing that it will work on your system. Most problems appear on laptops, where to save disk space, certain system components may have been omitted at installation. The authors regret that support can only be provided for Windows and iMac configurations. Because of the modifiable nature of the BSD and Linux kernels it is almost impossible to exactly replicate a customer's configuration. Be, the makers of BeOS have sold all intellectual properties to Palm Inc. who have announced that development of the operating system and support have ceased, there are however still many third part support sites on the internet. Windows NT users should ensure that they have the latest service pack installed.

This site makes use of several Java applets. This may cause some problems when using machines where Java is not enabled. Below is a guide to enabling Java on the three main browsers in use today.

### Microsoft Internet Explorer

1. Select 'Internet Options' from the 'Tools' menu at the top of the screen

2. Click the tab marked 'Advanced'

3. Scroll down the list until you reach the section marked 'Java'

4. Ensure that the 'JIT compiler' tag is selected

To use this resource off-line, some Windows PC's may require installation of the Microsoft Virtual Machine (about 4Mb). Users of Windows XP may find that a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is not available for them from Microsoft. If this is the case, or you want to use a non-Microsoft JVM, click here for a link to Sun Microsystems' Java site

Because of the use of Dynamic HTML some pages may not display correctly when using versions prior to V4.0.

### Netscape Navigator

1. Select 'Preferences' from the 'Edit' menu at the top of the screen

2. Select the category 'Advanced'

3. Ensure that the 'Automatically Load Images', 'Enable Java', and 'Enable JavaScript' options are all selected.
