Requirements
NoteMaker requires an operating system capable of supporting Java 2 SE
version 1.4.0 or later. For more information, see http://java.sun.com/getjava/download.html
It is also beneficial if your operating system supports Unicode and
TrueType fonts.
NoteMaker's help is provided by Sun Microsystems' JavaHelp platform.
Part of JavaHelp is provided with NoteMaker for your convenience.
JavaHelp can be downloaded from http://java.sun.com
Place all of the files object.jar, NoteMaker.jar,NoteMaker-Help.jar,
and jh.jar in the same directory. Suggested directories are C:\Program
Files\HPGCalc on Microsoft Windows or /usr/share/hpgcalc
on Linux. Mac users - make a new folder in Applications.
If you have any other HPGCalc programs installed, make sure
they are all in the same directory.
Install the HPGCalc font HPGCalc.ttf following the
instructions provided by your operating system.
Create shortcuts (Microsoft Windows) or symlinks (Linux) or
aliases (Macintosh) as appropriate. To launch NoteMaker the shortcut
should use your Java environment to launch notemaker.jar. The
command is usually similar to java -jar notemaker.jar.
In most cases you should just be able to double-click on notemaker.jar
Windows users
Make sure that Java (from Sun) is installed properly
and is version 1.4.0 or later. Note that the Microsoft Java virtual
machine is probably NOT enough to run NoteMaker.
Other users
Use the appropriate functionality of your Java virtual machine to load
a JAR file. On most platforms with a console/terminal, you should be
able to run NoteMaker by issuing the command java -jar notemaker.jar
If you have problems running NoteMaker and are absolutely 100%
certain that your Java is version 1.4.0 or later, you may try
running NoteMaker using the -ignore parameter. This parameter
will cause NoteMaker to not check the version of Java and assume it is
correct. This makes the above command java -jar NoteMaker.jar
-ignore
To check the other command line parameters use the -help
parameter.
There are support forms on Joshua's
web page which you use to get support for NoteMaker. Please note
however that is preview release software and is still in development.
Please check to make sure that you have the latest version of the
software before requesting support.
All support will occur via e-mail so make sure that you enter a valid
e-mail address into any forms.
