Problems

The applet should run when you click on "Launch Applet" above. Here are some suggestions in case it doesn't:

1. On my machine at work, it is sometimes necessary to press shift-reload (hold down the shift key and press "reload") to get the applet to start properly.
2. My machine at home is a Pentium-90 connected to the net via a cable modem. It takes 20 seconds or so for the applet to load. If you have a slow modem, it may take even longer.
3. On the Macintosh, Netscape 4.7 does not support Java version 1.1. (It claims to, but its support is incomplete.) In our Macintosh lab, we use the "Mac Runtime for Java", which is available on the net at http://www.apple.com/java. That package includes a program called "appletrunner", which runs the ABCml applet with no problem. Point the appletrunner at:

         http://mombasa.anthro.utah.edu/alan/abcml/AbcmlJar.html
   

   At the same time, point your (ordinary) web browser at

         http://mombasa.anthro.utah.edu/alan/abcml
   

   The Appletrunner will run the applet and the web browser will give you access to the ABCml documentation. The applet also works fine on the Macintosh version of Internet Explorer 5.0.

Platform notes

Doesn't work. See notes on Macintosh under "Problems" above.
