How Do I Get Java?So you want to download and use NoteMaker ?
FileJoiner?
HexViewer?
But you don't have Java. Follow this guide (updated 27 October 2002) in order to get Java. If you don't know what Java is and how to get it and you run Microsoft Windows, you probably don't have it. So go to Get Java Technology and follow the instructions. A clear instructive guide is provided. What is Java? Java is way of writing computer programs to run on many different types of computers. In order to do this the computer must have a special program called the Java Virtual Machine installed. The Java Virtual Machine comes with some operating systems (such as Mac OS X) and some web browsers. If you don't have the Java Virtual Machine, you will need to download it. Do I already have Java? If you have a recent Macintosh running Mac OS X, you probably already have Java support. If you have Windows, your Java support will probably need to be updated. Other operating systems such as Linux are beyond the scope of this guide - see java.sun.com for more information. Windows users To check if you already have Java installed, follow these steps. Type the commands that are written like this.
If the message starts with "java version "1.4.0_01"" or similar, then Java is installed properly. Mac users If you have Mac OS X 10.2.3 or later, you can download Java support to run my programs. Simply run Software Update from the System Preferences and download Java 1.4.1. If this update is not available, you have either already installed it, or you have less than 10.2.3 and cannot run this version of Java. Mac OS X 10.3 Panther comes with Java 1.4.1 built-in. To run a Java program, simply double-click on the main .jar file. Take important not of the number given - if the number is 1.3.1 or less, you must upgrade Java in order to run my programs. See the section on Downloading Java below. If the number is "1.4.0" or "1.4.0_01" or "1.4.1_01" or higher, your computer should be able run my programs. Downloading and Installing Java Unfortunately, there are so many versions of Java out there - it is constantly developing. At the time oof writing, the current supported version of Java was 1.4.1_01 and it is updated regularly. My applications currently require Java version 1.4.0 or later.
