The SingSurf program can be run in a number of different ways:
Just click on the SingSurf.bat file.
By default this program uses the Microsoft Java virtual machine which comes preinstalled on releases of windows before 2003. If you do not have this virtual machine then you will need to download and install the Java virtual machine from Sun this can be found at www.javasoft.com. The last two lines of the SingSurf.bat file will need to be changed if you wish to use the Sun virtual machine.
You may find that a message "out of environment space" is displayed. If the happens please read the section below.
<PARAM NAME = "ExecDir" VALUE="C:\temp\SingSurf\bin\">and
ExecDir ="C:/temp/SingSurf/bin/"and change the directory in each line. A total of four lines will need to be changed (two in each file).
If you have a web server running then the applet can be run in a client server fashion. To set this up you will to unpack the archive somewhere in the web directory for the server. You will need to copy all the files in the bin directory to your cgi-bin or scripts directory of your webserver.
The SSapplet.html and SingSurfPro.html files will need to be edited to set the URL for the servers. Replace the lines
<PARAM NAME = "ExecDir" VALUE="C:\temp\SingSurf\bin\"> <PARAM NAME = "ExecExtension" VALUE=".exe">to
<PARAM NAME = "ServerDir" VALUE="http://localhost/scripts/SingSurf/"> <PARAM NAME = "ServerExtension" VALUE=".exe">and change the lines
ExecDir ="C:\temp\SingSurf\bin\" ExecExtension =".exe"to
ServerDir="http://localhost/scripts/SingSurf/" ServerExtension=".exe"
Once this has been done you can view the applet through a URL like http://localhost/SingSurf/SingSurf.html.
If you get the above message when running the down loaded programs on a windows machine you can fix it with either of the two options
