A minor bug... preventing 99% of the potential users to make it run, has
been corrected.
You will find all the sources in the developer's corner, under Gnu
Public Licence.
The main page is:
http://www.geocities.com/Vienna/7709/ara_welcome.html
The multiple window system seems to work with very few OS/JVM
configuration, but the single window works on every one I tested (with
some strange display behaviours except under Linux). So if you like it,
you should seriously consider to install Sun's Java plug-in!
A printable form of the manual (black on white HTML zipped up with all
the needed pictures) will soon be available for download.
Happy POVing!

Whoa! That is understatement if I ever heard one! To call a bug that
prevents 99% of all users to run the program a "minor" one! :-o

Whoa! you're right. But I think he means the bug was just something like a
typo or a wrong declaration and not something fundamentally wrong. Still,
even a typo or forgetting to free a memory object can be very dangerous too
(and sometimes much harder to find, btw).

Since it is JAVA, memory is not that much of an issue...
But I agree wtih the typo/wrong def. thing...
What more is it, a simple erronious compile could be disasterous.... Ie. If it was
compiled for JDK1.2, instead of 1.1.x .... That would mean taht several users can't
access
it, but it will work on the computer it was created on...

Didn't think of htat... but... It's a pretty good one..
Anyone here deeply religious: ____Don't flame me_____
According to Mark Fabi in his book, "Wyrm" religion is a virus in the human mind, the
same
way the good-times and various variants are.... *grin*

Wow! Thanks everybody for all this enthousiastic feedback! And the
understatement was not really an accident ;-)
Spider got it: Sun does not provide a way to ensure the version
compatibility of your code. Precisely you can ensure your code is 1.1.x
or 1.2 compatible, but not 1.0... and most browsers are 1.0 compatible
and not more unless... you have the Java plug-in, like me, and here
comes the "bug" :-( This project was started more than 1 year ago, and
since then Sun hasn't stopped to do whatever they could to prevent Java
from expanding correctly: version changes every 2 months, compatibility
changes with every minor release... I hope they won't be surprised it
their attempt fails.
So Johannes, since the source is free you can checked that I only
commented ONE line to make it 100% compatible (I hope) instead of 1%.
And note that m$ ie4 claims that it is 1.1 compatible, which is false
and a reason for an ongoing trial.
Now this short explaination is over, I think the next release would
appear by april, with a full real gui and no need to enter coordinates.

hehe, I've had BAD experiences with the java-plug getting installed... Changed the
character set for me... Had to uninstall JDK1.2 :-/

Neat, I'll take a look at it (if I find a use for it)
