To load and run Brightline
for the first time:
- If you are running Brightline II for the first time and do not
have the Java Runtime Engine (JRE) version 1.3 installed, you
must download
and install this software from Sun's Web site. Once
the JRE has been successfully installed you will not
have to repeat this step again for this machine.
- Click here to
execute the "blineii.jar" file. When prompted by
Windows to either "Open this file from its current
location" or to "Save this file to disk,"
select the former and then choose 'OK'. The Brightline II
simulation will now begin.
Notes: Brightline II will
create a file named brightline.dat on your Windows desktop
which contains your preferred Brightline II properties and the
location of your parameter file. You should not delete
this file to save your Brightline II run-time preferences.
The Java Runtime Engine 1.3 is
not available
for Mac OS 9.x or earlier. Java 1.3 works fine in Mac OS X
10.1.x and higher, and is in fact embedded in Mac OS X 10.1.x
and higher, thus Mac OS X 10.1.x users will not need to download
it. Older Mac users may still run the original version of
Brightline.
