Installing the EMSL Publisher
-----------------------------
There is no installation required for the EMSL Publisher itself.
However a version of the Java Runtime Environment must be
installed on the host machine before the EMSL Publisher will work.
The Java version must be at least 1.1 and can be obtained from the
following websites, along with its installation instructions:

Windows 95 / Windows NT /Sun Solaris : 
	Download and install JRE 1.1.x available freely from
	http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.1/jre/index.html

MacOS :
	Download and install MRJ 2.x available freely from
	http://www.apple.com/macos/java/

Other Platforms :

	http://java.sun.com/cgi-bin/java-ports.cgi


Running the EMSL Publisher
--------------------------
Windows 95 / Windows NT :
	Double click on the Publisher.bat file

Solaris / Other Unix :
	At the command prompt, type
	$ jre -cp Publisher.jar Publisher

Mac OS :
	Double click on the Publisher.mac file


JavaBeans
---------
The EMSL Publisher makes extensive use of JavaBeans as a way of
extending and enhancing the software. Any JavaBean can be placed
and edited in a document. This is done simply by placing the
cursor in the desired place and then selecting the required
JavaBean from the Beans menu. The JavaBean can then be edited by
popping up the menu from the icon in the top-left of the JavaBean.

For JavaBeans to be included in the Beans menu, they must reside
in a directory called Beans (or in a sub-directory of the Beans
directory) which lies in the same place as the Publisher program
was started from.

A good place to find JavaBeans, commerical or shareware, is the
website:
	www.gamelan.com 	in the JavaBeans sections
