Note: There seem to be a lot of glitches (i.e. it runs significantly slower and the scroll bars won't work) when you run the .jar executable as opposed to running the class file directly. We think it may have something to do with Tyler's computer when it was used to build the jar file. The best way, although probably the most cumbersome, would be to manually compile and run it yourself. See Option 6 for that route. The jar file has been tested for Linux, Win 2000, and Mac. Manual compilation has been tested on Linux, Win 2000, and several Sun workstations.

3. Unzipping (Jar File Install)
I. Unzip and untar sss.tar.gz
II. Make sure to preserve directory hirearchy when
unzipping, as the data files depend upon it.
This is especially troublesome when using Winzip,
as it sometimes does not preserve directory
structure by default. After unzipping, there should
be sss.jar and a separate directory called 'guitest'
containing two data files.
4. Running (Jar File Install)
I. With java virtual machine installed,
type 'java -jar sss.jar' from directory
containing extracted jar file.
5. Unzipping (Manual Compilation)
I. Unzip and untar javaFilesNew.tar.gz
6. Running (Manual Compilation)
I. Create new directory 'guitest'
II. Move extracted .java files and extracted accessory
files (images, etc.) to 'guitest'
III.From directory containing extracted .java files,
run 'javac *.java
IV. Move up one directory level.
V. Run 'java guitest.GUItestClass'
VI. Enjoy
