This is the README-file for the MindTerm distributions. There are currently two distributions; one binary and one source. The latest versions of these files can always be downloaded from the MindTerm webpage at http://www.appgate.com/mindterm. Read the file LICENSE for the current draft of the formal license. The license may change in the future but our intent is still that it should follow the usage-terms below. However for all legal matters it is the license found in the LICENSE file which matters. The files included in this zip-file are as follows: mindterm.jar: Full unsigned binary mindterm_ie.cab: Signed binary for Internet Explorer only mindterm_ns.jar: Signed binary for Netscape Navigator only LICENSE: Current license (draft/non-formal) README: This file... The full unsigned binary is primary for using MindTerm "standalone" (i.e. as any ordinary SSH client) which means you have to install a java runtime (JVM) to run it, see for example: Linux: http://www.blackdown.org/java-linux.html http://www.ibm.com/developer/java Win32 and Solaris: http://www.javasoft.com/products/ Macintosh: http://www.apple.com/java/ Other platforms: http://java.sun.com/cgi-bin/java-ports.cgi Depending on your platform the application is run in different ways. For example in windows when a recent JRE is installed you only have to double-click the mindterm.jar file and MindTerm will run. On other platforms it might be something like: java -jar mindterm.jar java -cp mindterm.jar com.mindbright.application.MindTerm java -classpath c:\java\lib\classes.zip:mindterm.jar com.mindbright.application.MindTerm jview /cp:p mindterm.jar com.mindbright.application.MindTerm The files mindterm_ie.cab and mindterm_ns.jar are only to be used as applets from either Internet Explorer (4.x and above) or Netscape (4.06 and above). They work on windows and most unix platforms. They might work on other platforms too, test it to see.
