Jpathfinder

Installation
Install all following files in the same directory as your HTML file and set file permission correctly for Internet access
  • Jpathfinder.class
  • Jpathfinder$Node.class
  • conf.dat
  • font file which you choose, let's say, you pick font_1_12.fnt file then you need go to "FontInfo\Font1" folder, copy font_1_12.fnt to current folder holding Jpathfinder.class, Jpathfinder$Node.class and conf.dat, make sure these 4 files are sitting under the same folder.
All font files are located under "FontInfo" folder. The root of trial version is labelled by "mw6tech demo" and some characters have horizontal bar inside, full version has no such issue. All tree navigation information are stored in a file called"conf.dat" ,  this file format is pretty much like HTML format, you can use any text editor tool to generate this file,  in order to let applet parse it properly, this file must comply with some guidelines. Each news entry is defined by tags values and must be in the same line, namely, do not punch ENTER key in middle of news entry, any blank lines and lines starting with "<!" are skipped. Take a look at following sample"conf.dat" file.
