Note on Java and Browser Compatability

This applet was initiated in the summer of 1999 as a co-production of the Banff Centre for the Arts. In the ten years that have passed changes in browsers and Java have made for some incompatabilities. Consequently, not everything may work as originally designed. There are also differences in result depending on operating systems. At this writing, the most consistent results are on the Windows platform.

Some pointers for OS X Leopard:

  1. On Mac laptops which offer choice of graphics processors, the high performance processor should be selected.
  2. Turn on Java debugging. Go to Applications->Utilities->Java and open the "Java Preferences" application. Under Debugging check "Enable Tracing". Under Java Console check "Show Console".
  3. In Firefox, to see the Applet's menu items in the menu bar at the top of the screen, click out of the Java Applet Window onto the browser Window (this window).
