This GridBagger product is delivered in a single ZIP file. The ZIP file name indicates the date that the product version in the file was built in day/month/year order. The ZIP file contains the following:

Running the software

GridBagger can be run under Solaris or Windows by clicking (or double clicking) on the file "GridBagger.jar". Alternatively the following Java command can be used:
    java -jar GridBagger.jar

GridBagger is written using the Sun Java 2 SDK (formerly known as the 1.2 JDK) and users must have at least 2 installed on their machine. Java 2 is available free at Sun's website.

Windows98 Display problems

If you use a Windows98 PC and the GridBagger windows are not repainting properly then this is probably because your graphics accelerator needs to be turned down or off. To do this right click on the desktop and select properties. This gives you the Display properties dialog. Select 'Settings' then 'Advanced' and turn down or off the graphics acceleration.

Known issues

Paying for the software

The evaluation period is the standard 30 days given for most shareware. After that period payment should be made using the KAGI shareware payment service. The best way is to run the enclosed Windows program that generates output that can be e-mailed, faxed or posted to KAGI. If payment must be made by phone there is a US$5 surcharge and it can be done by ringing (510) 658-5244 in the US. Alternatively payment can be made over the internet by going to the EquitySoft pricing page.

Replacing an old version with a new version

If you want to keep all your existing files then replace only the old version of "GridBagger.jar" with the new version. However the preferences such as source line termination will be reset.

The policy on new revisions of products

Products are regularly updated with new features. My policy is not to charge any fee for new releases which may only include bug fixes, cosmetic changes and minor functional changes. In general therefore, the original registration code that you receive on paying the initial license fee should be kept and reused after downloading a new product version. Do not pay for another license unless you're sure it's absolutely required.
