Web-based utilities

These utilities were developed between 2000 and 2002. They use Javascript, Java applets and LiveConnect, a tool that allows data transfer between JavaScript and Java applets. LiveConnect was developed by Netscape and implemented by nearly all browsers before 2000. Not all browsers support LiveConnect. As a consequence, calculations can be done in all browsers, but if the graphing part does not work with your browser you will have to try a different browser. (Most likely the issue is the Java machine used by the browser.) The following browsers were tested for LiveConnect compatibility and functioned properly in February 2005:
Windows 95, 98/NT and 2000
  • Netscape Navigator version 4.x (version 7.x in Windows 2000)
  • Microsoft Internet Explorer version 4.x (version 5.x in Windows 2000)
  • (Opera was not tested but is likely to work as well.)
Mac OS
  • Safari 1.2.1 and higher with Java 1.4.2
  • iCab version 2.7 (OS X in classic mode only)
  • Netscape Navigator version 4.x (OS X in classic mode only)
  • Opera version 7.54u1
