Once the archive file has been unpacked, you can start the jshock editor by typing :
java jshockin the directory containing the jshock classes (assuming the java interpreter is in your path). The editor window should then appear, allowing you to create and save a new presentation.
The editor works in the same way as most normal applications, and allows you to have multiple presentations open at the same time, copy and paste between presentations and so on. For more information about using the editor, see the User's guide.
<applet code=jshockApplet.class width=500 height=150> <param name=presentation value=foo.pres> </applet>Of course, the width and height of the applet should be the same as the presentation, and the correct presentation filename used in the param tag.
The example above, when embedded into a HTML page looks like:
You can also have the applet display Pause and Rewind buttons in the top-left corner, by adding another parameter to the applet tag. This parameter should look like:
<param name=buttons value=1>
The jshock application has been tested under JDK 1.0.2 and 1.1.3 on Solaris and Window 95. The jshock applet has been tested under Netscape 4.02 on Solaris and Window 95, and IE 3.0 on Windows 95. Other compatible Java runtimes should be able to run the applet and application with no major problems.
