Downloading WebWerm

WebTerm is available via anonymous ftp from ftp.nero.net; the binary (byte-compiled java) distribution is in the file /pub/nacse/webterm/WebTerm-bin-1.3.1.tar.Z. The source distribution is available in the file /pub/nacse/webterm/WebTerm-1.3.1.tar.Z.

Note: WebTerm 1.3.1 is necessary to work with Netscape 3.0. If you already have the WebTerm 1.3 source distribution, you may wish to patch it with the file WebTerm-1.3-1.3.1.patch.Z.

Building WebTerm

After you've downloaded the WebTerm distribution, unpack it using the command 
    zcat <filename> | tar -xvf -
If you have the binary (byte-compiled) distribution, this will create a number of *.class files, which are ready to run. If you've downloaded the source distribution, it will create a number of *.java files, which you must then compile using javac (from the Java Development Kit), using the command 
    javac WebTerm.java VT200.java
This will create the *.class files.

Using Webterm

To use WebTerm, include a link to it in an html file: 
    <applet code="WebTerm.class" width="100%" height="75%">
    <h2 align=center>Your Web browser does not support java!</h2>
