JavaFIBS
2001 v1.009 is out (1.28 MB). It is compatible with Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Solaris and others. You will need Java 1.3+ installed on your computer to be able to use it. Instructions in how to install and use JavaFIBS 2001 is included in the manual in the archive.
The Button Converter is used to convert the programmable buttons from earlier versions of JavaFIBS2001 to the new v1.005+ format. Put it into the JavaFIBS2001 archive and run it before running the latest version if you are upgrading from a version older than v 1.005. Run it from a shell window or batch file like: "java ButtonConverter"

JavaFIBS (1.05). You will need a JVM/JDK/JRE to use it. Sorry
for the lack of instructions and other documentations. They might show
up later sometime. You can use the instructions
for the applet in the mean time.
You can download it as a special Windows
EXE (selfextracting archive) file (285 kb). Read the "installation"
notes above.
Here's JavaFIBS in a ordinary zip
file (122 kb) for you on other platforms or those of you who prefer it.
A small install note for Windows users that use the .exe file. After
you have extracted the archive, go to the startbar and bring up the properties
for the JavaFIBS entry. You will see that it reads ' "unit:\dir\JavaFIBS"
JavaFIBS' in the name line. Change this so it reads:
-
For JRE 1.1.8 - 'jrew -cp "unit:\dir\JavaFIBS" JavaFIBS'
-
For JDK 1.1.8 - 'java -classpath "unit:\dir\JavaFIBS" JavaFIBS'
-
For JRE/JDK 1.2.x, try any of the above.
The rest of you are on your own for now. :) I'm sure Linux/Solaris/Unix
users can sort this out themselves.
But it's mainly like:
-
Unzip the zip file into a directory.
-
Go to that directory.
-
Type "java JavaFIBS &" or "jre JavaFIBS
&" if the JRE/JDK is properly installed.
If you want to have sounds in JavaFIBS you will need to get some sounds
for it. Here's a sound
archive that I've put together from various sounds. If you want to
use your own sounds, you will need to convert them to .au format. To use
the sounds, make a directory called sound in the same directory
where the JavaFIBS program is installed. Then unzip the soundfile into
that sound directory. All necessary directories will be created the first
time you start JavaFIBS though, if you aren't sure how to do it yourself.
Some experience crashes when sounds are ON on Windows. Try turning them
off if you are experiencing problems. On Solaris the sounds works without
problems.
From here you can download the Java
JRE you will need to use with JavaFIBS.
