    <li>Windows XP, MacOS, or Linux
    </li><li>Recommended Windows file system: NTFS (FAT32 supports files up to 4 GB)
    </li><li>Sun JDK 1.4 or newer
    </li><li>Mozilla Firefox 1.5 or newer
</li></ul>

<br /><a name="supported_platforms"></a>
<h2>Supported Platforms</h2>
<p>
As this database is written in Java, it can be run on many different platforms.
It is tested with Java 1.4, 1.5, and 1.6 but can also be compiled to native code using GCJ.
The source code does not use features of Java 1.5. Currently, the database is
developed and tested on Windows XP using the Sun JDK 1.4, but it also
works in many other operating systems and using other Java runtime environments.
