Installation

Installing AWeb

Installing AWeb is straightforward. Just double-click the Install icon.

The archive contains three different Workbench icons for AWeb: for the standard Workbench, for MagicWB, and for NewIcons. The installation process will ask you which you want to install. The other icons are saved in a separate drawer so you can switch icons later.

AWeb needs some ClassAct classes. These are included in the archive, and the installation process will ask you if you want to install them. You are strongly encouraged to do so. If you do not install ClassAct, you have to make sure that AWeb can find its classes, for instance by executing the MakeAssign script before you start AWeb. If you do install ClassAct, you don't have to worry about this.

Configuring the JFIF datatype

If you use the JFIF datatype (by Christoph Feck, TowerSystems), then please read this:

The JFIF datatype doesn't seem to handle shareable pens on public screens correctly under all circumstances. You have to install AWeb in the datatype or else AWeb will not be able to show inline JPEG images.

In the JFIF preference editor, you must add an application named AWebIP (AWeb Image Processing), and then select Single-Pass Quantization (in the GadTools version of the preference editor) or One-pass (in the MUI version).

The AWebLib drawer

In order to reduce the size of the executable, some less frequently used parts of AWeb are located in separate files. AWeb expects these files to be found in the AWebLib subdrawer. You must not move these files out of their drawer, or else some functions of AWeb may cease to work.
