SoundSpace System Requirements

• Unix Systems: Many free Java ports for Unix operating systems can be found at www.java.sun.com. Unix systems will require a windowing environment, such as X-Windows. System requirements vary, but a system with 64MB of RAM is recommended. After you have downloaded the Unix package for SoundSpace, you should place the GNU zipped tar file in your home directory, and run the commands
  • 'gzip sspace0.05.tar.gz'
  • 'tar -xf sspace0.05.tar'
  This will create a directory called soundspace that contains the Java classes for SoundSpace.
  
  
• Windows Systems: You will need a Win9x or WinNT system to run Java 1.1. A free version of Java 1.1 can be found at www.java.sun.com. Your system should be at least a Pentium processor running at 200MHz, with 32MB of RAM. After you have downloaded the Windows package of SoundSpace, place the zip file in a directory created for SoundSpace and unzip the files. Important: You must use an unzipping program, such as WinZip or Stuffit Expander, that preserves long file names. Many older unzipping tools such as PKZip do not.
  
  
• Macintosh Systems: Java for the Macintosh can be found at www.apple.com/java. Your system should be at least a PowerPC 604 running at 200MHz, with 48MB of RAM. A Macintosh G3 is recommended. The Macintosh package is in the Stuffit format. After you have downloaded the program, assuming you have Stuffit Expander, you can double click on the the sspace0.05.sit icon. This will create a folder labeled 'SoundSpace'. Inside this folder will be a Java Bindery file called SoundSpace, and a folder called Classes that contains the SoundSpace classes.

Enjoy!
