IMAGE VIEWING AND ANNOTATION TOOLS FOR EVERY WEB ENVIRONMENT

ViewONE and ViewONE Pro are Java applets and therefore require a Java environment (typically a web browser) in which to operate.

ViewONE and ViewONE Pro do not require the most recent browser, or the latest version of a Java engine, ensuring that the widest possible usage of ViewONE and ViewONE Pro without the need to update computers. This is absolutely paramount to minimize the effort (and technical expertise) required of the user before they can start to use your system. Both viewers can operate in any Java environment of version 1.1.5+ or later and any browser supporting Java 1.1.5 or above, to make our viewers as retro-compatible as possible. We continue, of course, to work with the latest versions of each browser to ensure longevity.

Changes to the Daylight Saving dates in the USA
****************************************************************
As a result of the US Energy Policy Act of 2005 the start and end dates of US Daylight Savings Time (DST) are different for 2007 onwards. If you want your Windows installation to recognize the changes you will need to aply a Microsoft Windows Patch (KB928388). This can be found at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928388. Additionaly for Java applets and applications to recognize the change you need to use JRE 1.4.2_13 or any JRE 1.5.x onwards (or the Microsoft JVM version 5.0.03810). Please note: If you need ViewONE to recognize the changes (e.g. for Annotation creation and modification dates), these updates will be required.

Note: when using Firefox 1.0.6 on a Mac, you cannot currently use the “%” symbol for sizing of the applet window. Also, JavaScripting is not available due to current limitations of Firefox on the Mac platform.

Note: Microsoft has discontinued its extended support for Windows 98/98SE/ME, which may affect the performance of some Window-specific features and modules, including the PDF Module. We will endeavour to continue to support for Windows-specific features and modules on these older operating systems, but performance cannot be guaranteed.

Our applets include everything necessary for a fully functional end user applet. This covers every element of the graphical user interface, image and file handling. So you are unlikely to see an applet supporting Java 1.1.5 which looks as good and works as well as ours.

Ideally any Java applet should work in your browser without installation of additional browser options. This is true for Microsoft Internet Explorer version 4.01 and Netscape 4.06 (or later). For links to download the most recent browsers or Java engines, visit our downloads page.
