or 
        - Windows, MacOs, Linux, Solaris...with a Java Virtual Machine (JDK) 1.1.7B or better installed



* DownloadExpert is a Java software, so it can be used on any plateform that has a Java compatible Virtual Machine.
By default, if you are under Windows and have installed IE4 you are not obliged to install a JVM.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3/ Installing DownloadExpert v1.0 on Windows 95/98 with Internet Explorer 4 installed
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


a) Unzip DownloadExpert.zip file in the directory of your choice.

b) Go to this directory and type DownloadExpert (or double-click on the icon). The program will start.

This will launch the program only if IE4 is installed or if SDK2.0 or later  (microsoft JVM) is installed.
DownloadExpert.bat uses jview.exe : the JVM developped by Microsoft and automaticaly installed with IE4.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
4/ Using DownloadExpert with any JDK (Windows, Solaris, Linux...)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
A Java program is a list of class files. In order to launch a Java program, 
you need a Java Virtual Machine (JDK or JRE) and some classes and the name of the starting class.

So, you must first install a Java Virtual Machine (a JDK or a JRE) on your machine.
The version of the JVM must be 1.1.7B or higher.

In order to launch the program you must launch the Java interpretor (named java) with some parameters :
	-ms33554432
	-mx67108864
	-classpath classes\jmsClasses.jar
	DownloadExpert

you must add to the class path the classes.zip of the JVM. Example, if jdk is the root directory
for the JVM, jdk/lib/classes.zip must be added to the classpath.

An example of command line : 

under Windows or Solaris : 
"java -ms33554432 -mx67108864 -classpath classes/jmsClasses.jar;path_of_your_jdk_classes.zip DownloadExpert"


Edit a file named DownloadExpert (executable) that contains this command line and launch it to launch the program.


(Rq : if you know how to use a JVM what you must know to launch DownloadExpert is that
the name of the starting class is DownloadExpert, whithout a name of package, which is contained in the file
jmsClasses.jar.)
