Installing

---

NOTE: Before beginning the install, you must have installed JDK 1.1.8 or greater on your computer. This must be a full JDK; a JRE is not enough.

Windows (95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP)

The installer is called simppro.exe. Double click this file to begin the install. The install utility will guide you through the installation. You must accept the terms of the licence agreement to complete the install. After specifying the install location, all of the files will be copied.

Mac OS Classic (7.6-9)

Make sure that you have previously installed the MRJ 2.1.4, available from http://developer.apple.com/java/download.html . MRJ 2.2 is not recommended at the current time.

The installer is MacBinary encoded and should be automatically decoded when downloaded. If not, you can decode it using Stuffit Expander 4.5 or later. Double click the installer to begin the install.

Mac OS X

Mac OS X 10.1.1 comes installed with JDK 1.3.1. Mac OS users should upgrade to 10.1.1 or later.

The distribution for Mac OS X is a .dmg.gz file, named simppro.dmg.gz. To install, double-click the simppro.dmg.gz file in the Finder. This should open up Stuffit Expander, which will decompress the file. Double-click on the resulting simppro.dmg disk image to open it. A new disk image called "Simplicity Pro Install" will appear on your desktop. Open this and drag the folder named "SimplicityProfessional" onto your hard drive. Inside this folder is an application named "Simplicity Professional". Use this to start Simplicity Professional.

OS/2 Warp

The distribution is called simppro.zip. Unzip this file using an unzip utility, being careful to maintain the directory structure. Execute the simpwps.cmd Rexx script to create a Program Object on your desktop for starting Simplicity.

Linux, Solaris, AIX, IRIX, SCO UnixWare, and Other Unix

Simplicity is distributed as a .tar.gz file, named simppro.tar.gz. To install, copy the distribution to your user directory and execute the following commands to unpack the archive:

gzip -d simppro.tar.gz

tar -xf simppro.tar
