• a directory doc/ with the javadoc documentation of the library

3. Installation

No installation script is available in this release. However, installation is not complex, as require only to unzip the archive and manually moving/copying the files as follows:

1. Unzip the directory on your hard disk, in a directory <$DIR>

2. Move lf.jar into a position where it can be found by the Java Runtime Environment. If you are using JDK1.2, the standard extension directory (usually jre/lib/ext) will do.
If you are using JDK1.1, add the entry <$DIR>\lf.jar (WIN32) or <$DIR>/lf.jar (Unix) to your CLASSPATH environment variable. Please refer to the JDK1.1 documentation for further information about CLASSPATH.

4. Example application

You can compile and run the example application to check that everything is installed properly. If you do not want to compile, the .class files are already contained in the examples/ directory. Just enter the directory and run

   java -classpath . Application.java

The application should run without exceptions.
