Something about System Implementation

The system has been implemented in Java jdk 1.0 by exploiting the Microsoft J++ development environment. The pre-compiled version of the system has now been compiled with jdk 1.1.3 to increase speed thought it still exploits deprecated classes and the 1.0 event model. The source version can be compiled with either jdk 1.0 or jdk 1.1. You are recommended to use jdk 1.1 as it produces a much faster system. You will get warning messages about deprecated interfaces while compiling.

Instruction to Install, and Run a precompiled version of the E³ System

• Copy e3.zip into the main directory of the disk, say disk X, in which you would like to install the system,
• Uncompress using a tool that maintains long file names, e.g. winzip, in a way that the hierarchy of the directories be maintained.
• If you are working in WINDOWS95 environment, add to the CLASSPATH environment variable (in AUTOEXEC.BAT), the string X:\e3pdraw (SET CLASSPATH=....;X:\e3pdraw;..... ). Restart the system in a way the change to the CLASSPATH environment variable takes effect.
• From directory e3pdraw, you can now run the E3 system by "java E3pdraw" (case sensitive!)

Instruction to Install, Compile, and Run the E³ System

• Copy e3s.zip into the main directory of the disk , say disk X, in which you would like to install the system,
• Uncompress using a tool that maintains long file names, e.g. winzip, in a way that the hierarchy of the directories be maintained.
• If you are working in WINDOWS95 environment, add to the CLASSPATH environment variable (in AUTOEXEC.BAT), the string X:\e3pdraw (SET CLASSPATH=....;X:\e3pdraw;..... ). Restart the system in a way the change to the CLASSPATH environment variable takes effect.
• From directory e3pdraw, compile the E3 system, "javac E3pdraw.java" (case sensitive) (you will wait a few minutes).
• You can now run the E3 system by "java E3pdraw" (case sensitive!)
