Java Installation

Download the Java JDK and follow the installation instructions.

JStation Software Installation

The software package is released as three zip files - runtime, source and documentation

To install the software on your system, select a home directory for the installation and unzip the required files into that directory using the unzip utility that is available for the platform you are using (unzip for Unix and WinZip for Windows/95).

If all has worked correctly, you should end up with a directory structure under your home directory of:

microsat - microsat directory - from all packages
SATS - sample SATS directory for active satellites - from runtime.zip
KO-25 - sample satellite directory (with a couple of downloaded files) - from runtime.zip
bin - startup scripts for JStation - from runtime.zip
props - propeties file for JStation configuration - from runtime.zip
classes - Java classes - from runtime.zip
csource - C source for native interfaces - from source.zip
doc - This documentation - from doc.zip
lib - Shared libraries and DLLs for native interfaces - from runtime.zip
source - Java source files - from source.zip

It is important to use a version of WinZip on Windows/95 that preserves long file names.
