Browser Requirements:

• These requirements pertain to Win95/Win98/WinNT/WinXP. I have no way of testing on other O/S types.
• Java 1.0 is supported by Netscape 3 and MS Internet Explorer 3 (and higher).
• Java 1.1 is supported by Netscape 4.5 and MSIE 4 (and higher).
• Java 1.2 requires the Java Plugin, i.e. the J2SE Runtime Environment, (JRE).
• My applets usually work fine in non-Netscape, non-MS browsers.
• Microsoft's Win XP installation CD's don't contain Java support, i.e. the "Microsoft Java Virtual Machine (VM)". However most computer vendors install the Microsoft VM when they pre-install Windows XP. If you have a Win XP computer without Java support, you can install Sun's Java Plugin (see above), or you can search the web for the MS Java VM download, a file named msjavx86.exe (case-insensitive). The one I used has a size of 6,592,232 bytes, but the size could vary somewhat. I don't think the version matters, because "Windows Update" is going to replace it anyway. The advantage of the plugin is that you can run the latest versions of Java. The advantage of the MS VM is that it's slightly faster and more likely to run older applets smoothly. With the plugin installed, you can use the "plugin console" to switch between the plugin and the MS VM. That's what I do.

Notes on this Web Page Background:

This background shows 2 layers of a honeycomb (a solid tesselation) composed of octahedra and tetrahedra. This is the only "quasi-regular" honeycomb (see H.S.M. Coxeter "Regular Polytopes" section 4.7 (Coxeter01)). For other (more attractive) honeycomb backgrounds, see Mark's Page and my Rhombic Dodecahedron Page.
