Welcome to ButtonFactory ;-)

ButtonFactory is a tiny Java tool to create different types of buttons
for WWW pages etc. It relies on Java 1.2 or higher and excessively uses
Swing and Java2D. It has been tested on Linux as well as Solaris and seems
to run quite well. Nevertheless I could not give any guarantees for other
operating systems and/or Java versions.

Installation:
-------------
Congratulation - as you are already reading the REAMDE file, you
successfully installed ButtonFactory. You've got two directories. 
"lib" includes two libraries:
	- jimi.jar is a SUN library for image manipulation 
	- buttonFactory is the real program
"bin" includes a simple wrapper to start the program. It assumes java
in the directory /usr/java which is true for Solaris, but may not for
other operating systems. Either you edit the wrapper to suit your computer
or you set the environment variable JAVA_HOME to point to your Java
distribution.

Starting:
---------
Simply launch the wrapper and wait, wait, ...

Limitations, Problems:
----------------------
Due to limitations of the Jimi-library, no GIF images can be saved.
Depending on the operating system and the Java distribution, Java2D and
Swing need a terrible amount of memory. So if the tool fails, you might have
to increase your swap space.
