[Note: to use Diagen 2.0 with I-Doc 2.0, you will need to update the I-Doc file navigate-graph, and replace the pathname of the variable $javafile.]

Release and development information:

Media-Doc is being developed in java under SunOS 5.5 (Solaris). The Diagen software includes a server, for serving the MAP files, and client for displaying the resulting graph.

Media-Doc is known to work on the following platforms:

Sun OS 5.5	Netscape 2.0, 3.0
HPUX 9.01	Netscape 3.0
IRIS 5.3	Netscape 3.0
Windows 95	Microsoft Explorer 3.0

Bugs and restrictions:

Netscape Java implementations differ across versions and platforms and below is a list of some platform-independent problems we've had with the Diagram Generator.

Due to the drawing algorithm, nested children with multiple parents appear inside the first parent which is drawn in the diagram.
Due to the nature of multiple parents, children in nested layouts may not always appear within the boudaries of their parents.
The Diagram Generator can only control the browser window when the browser reads the page containing the applet. Thus, after following a link with the Diagram Generator, you must return to its page before you can choose another link.

On Unix platforms, the behavior of a Java-enabled Netscape browser seems to depend on both the platform on which the browser is run and the platform on which it is displayed. For example, if you run Netscape on a SunOS platform, but display it on an HP, you may not see problems specific to SunOS, but you may see some entirely new problems. The platform specfic problems listed below are noted when the browser is run and displayed on the same machine.

Sun OS 5.5	No known problems.
HPUX 9.01	No known problems.
IRIX 5.3	No known problems.
Windows 95	No known problems.
Macintosh	No known problems.
