Q: My PDA can't run it.
A: It runs on your PC. You run a browser (Like IE, Safari...) on your PDA to connect.
Q: The controll is slow and the interface is hard to use.
A: That's what HTML can do. It will be tweaked, but it won't be really much better. The program is simply not designed with FPS games in mind, but for zero configuration and setup and best compatibility. Alternate is RDP.
Q: Will the new version still support XYZ?
A: Of course, the primary purpose of this program is maximum compatibility. If you can't use a new module, you can always fall back to an old one. Nothing will be deleted ever!
Q: PDA ... install ...?
A: No, the program works like a web server: You run it on your PC, and your PDA (or other device) uses it's default browser as a client to access it.
Q: What can I do with a .jar file?
A: It's the extension for Java programs. After you've installed Java, it'll run it for you. You will just have to open it like you do with any other file.
Note: Do NOT unzip it! Jar relies on zip, so your zip will handle it, but Java is expecting the archive when you want to run it.
Q: What is Java?
A: For short, it's a runtime environment. It's required to run Java programs. It can do a lot of cool things, like running the same program on Windows and Linux or Mac OS X, or providing me great tools for free. Oh, the best thing: it's completely free!
Q: Where can I get Java?
A: Well, first you can check it on javatester.org if it's been already installed. Then if it's not, Windows and Linux users can download directly from Sun for free. Just don't forget, you need JRE (Java Runtime Environment) SE (Standard edition) 6 (or 1.6, version numbers are fuzzy). Mac OS X users should have it already installed as operating system component, but sadly older PowerPC based Macs have a problem with Java 6 compatibility. Please send me a mail if you can solve it! Java 6 is also not available for Win98 and WinME, because support of these systems have been officially dropped since version 6.
Q: How can I use the program?
A: You must start it on the server machine, let the window open, then use any browser and connect it with the IP address instead of a domain. The program already shows the URL based on the primary network card's IP address, probably that one will work. You can also click it to test, though the program will not provide any meaningfull functionality when used from the same computer.
Q: What that red warning means? Is the program flawed?
A: No, warning removed. The new security is besed on IP address. This will be updated soon.
Q: Does this program work on Linux/Mac?
A: Well, it've been tested only with windows. Mac PowerPC does have a problem with the java version. On other systems using Java SE 6 it should work, but it uses java.awt.Robot for input controll, which is not guaranted by Sun to work on every system.
Q: Can't you make it to run on Java 5?
A: While it currently fails on a Swing error, the real problem is, that the HTTP server is based on com.sun.net.httpserver, which is a pure new Java 6 class. I'm not planning to change this in the near future, since it would be a lot of work related to the project's current size.
