 JDK Commander: How to get started!
====================================

The JDK Commander kit is distributed as a zip archive
containing the following files:

  - Readme.txt (this file)
  - UsersGuide.zip
  - JDKcommander.exe

The instructions below come as two different sections:
One for systems without WindowsXP, the other for
WindowsXP systems.

As an alternative to proceding as described below,
you can read the installation instructions (and more) online:

If you need more information on how to get started, please

=======================================
Section 1: Systems other than WindowsXP
=======================================

The following instructions assume that you are using WinZip
for handling zip files. If you are using another zip
utility, the steps described hereafter may be different.

You'll find detailed installation instructions in the
user's guide. Therefore, you should read it and then
plan your installation and configuration of JDK Commander.

For being able to take a first look at the user's guide,
do the following:

1. Create a temporary folder, e.g. C:\temp

2. I expect that you have already opened  the JDK Commander
   kit as a zip archive because you are reading this.
   Otherwise, open the JDK Commander kit using WinZip or
   whatever your zip utility is.

3. In the WinZip display, doubleclick on the file UsersGuide.zip
   A second instance of WinZip appears, opening the zip archive
   with the user's guide files.

4. Extract all files of the user's guide to the temporary folder
   created in step 1.

5. Open the temporary folder e.g. by means of the Windows Explorer.

6. In that folder, doubleclick on the file usersguide.htm
   Your web browser will now display the user's guide with
   everything you need to now about installing and using
   JDK Commander. As part of the installation, you will plan
   where to place the user's guide that is now in a temporary
   folder.


=======================================
Section 2:  WindowsXP systems
=======================================

The following instructions assume that no zip utility
(WinZip or similar) is installed on your system.
If you do have a zip utility, please read section 1.

WindowsXP lets you open zip archives like a folder.
Although files are immediately visible, using them
is sometimes not the same as using files in a real folder.

You'll find detailed installation instructions in the
user's guide. Therefore, you should read it and then
plan your installation and configuration of JDK Commander.

For being able to take a first look at the user's guide,
do the following:

1. Create a temporary folder, e.g. C:\temp

2. Open the JDK Commander kit e.g. with the Windows Explorer
   or using "My Computer".

3. Doubleclick on the file UsersGuide.zip
   You'll get a listing of all files in the user's guide.

4. Copy all files of the user's guide to the temporary folder
   created in step 1.

5. Open the temporary folder e.g. by means of the Windows Explorer.

6. In that folder, doubleclick on the file usersguide.htm
   Your web browser will now display the user's guide with
   everything you need to now about installing and using
   JDK Commander. As part of the installation, you will plan
   where to place the user's guide that is now in a temporary
   folder.
