About mjbWorld Program

Both the Java and .NET versions of this program run on your local computer,
so once you have downloaded, them you do not need a connection to the network/server.

You only need to load one zip or msi file containing mjbWorld program, although
you may possibly need to update the Java Virtual Machine or .NET extensions
from Sun/Microsoft depending on what version you are currently running.

To Load follow the following steps:

Choose the version you want to run using the tables below as a guide.

Goto
this page and click on your choice to upload it.

Unzip the file you downloaded and run it as explained for the version you
are using here
(Java + JOGL version), (Java
+ Java3D version), (Linux version), (.NET
version). Or if you have chosen the .msi version, double click on it to
install.

I would really appreciate and help to improve this program, such as bug reports,
ideas for improvements, corrections etc. (or even better changes to the source
code). Please enter your reports/comments here.
