Notice to Macintosh users: Older Macs will need the JRE 1.1.8 (MRJ 2.2.5) available for download from Apple.com. With this older version you will have to setup the AppletViewer to trust applications--instructions to do this are on the CD. You will also need more RAM than specified as Minimum. If your Mac can handle it we suggest you purchase Mac OS X in order to have the Java Runtime Environment 1.3 with the command line utility.
