2. Getting Started
Before you can begin using the NetHelp Localization Kit, you must install
it and setup your working directories. This is a simple matter of unzipping
the compressed kit file(s) into the proper directories. Your system must
also meet certain requirements to run the tools needed to perform the localization
steps described below.
System Requirements
There a few system requirements for the kit in the strictest sense; however,
your choice of tools will have their own set of requirements. The
most likely minimum configuration will be as follows:
-
100% IBM compatible PC
-
Pentium® processor
-
Microsoft® Windows NT 3.51 or 4.0 (localized
versions are for required for proper indexing results.)
-
16 MB RAM
-
30 MB available hard disk space
-
A text editor.
-
An active Internet connection and the ability to ftp (send and receive)
large files
-
A Java-enabled Web browser (say, for example, Netscape Communicator ;-),
or the JDK 1.1.
Installing the Kit
It is recommended that you install the NetHelp Localization Kit in the
same directory as any other Netscape localization kits you may already
have. For example, if you have already localized the Windows Front End,
install the NetHelp kit to the same kitRoot directory as that kit:
place the NetHelp Kit's .ZIP file in that directory and UNZIP it with the
-d parameter:
PKUNZIP -d filename
Example: PKUNZIP -d netHelpKit
Configuring Your Tools
There are no special configuration requirements for NetHelp Builder tool.
If you can run Java applets and grant security privileges, the Builder
tool should function properly.
