1. GETTING STARTED

System Requirements
-------------------
The following are general requirements  for running JNIWrapper on any  supported
platform:

   Java 2 compatible SDK or Runtime Environment version 1.3.x or 1.4.x

   Windows
   -------
   JNIWrapper for Windows supports Windows 9x, Me, NT 4.0, 2000 and XP on Intel
   platform.
   JNIWrapper  memory  consumption  is  negligible  compared  to  that  of Java2
   runtime.

Package Contents and Installation
---------------------------------
JNIWrapper for Windows package consists of the following main files:

jniwrap.jar - Library JAR file
jniwrap.dll - Native code library
Readme.txt  - this file

Depending on package type other files may also be included.

All the files have to be placed in the appropriate locations. Please read below
for more details about the product installation instructions.

   Installing Library JAR File
   ---------------------------
JNIWrapper JAR file should be on the program's class path.
Library file  can be  also placed  on the  boot class  path or  in the extension
directory of Java runtime, but this is not required.

   Installing Native Code Library
   ------------------------------
JNIWrapper native  DLL can  be placed  virtually anywhere.  Its actual  location
should take into  account that Java  code must find  the DLL to  load. It can be
placed somewhere within program's  library search path. Alternatively  users can
add search path to the default  library loader used by JNIWrapper or  even write
a custom one  that searches for  native code in  a predefined location.  Certain
users may like  to install the  native DLL into  the directories on  the default
system path  (e.g. Windows  root or  Windows\System32)   this requires adequate
rights on NT/2000/XP systems. Installing native DLL this way may be  convenient,
but is not required.

   Installing License File
   -----------------------
License file is not the part of this package.  It has to be obtained separately.
Visit JNIWrapper site (http://www.jniwrapper.com) to purchase the product or get
an evaluation license.

License  file  has  to  be installed  in  the  same directory as the native code
library.  Do NOT rename the license file or it will not be recognized.
