<h2>Requirements</h2>
To run the database, the following software stack is known to work.
Compatible software works too, but this was not tested.
<ul>
    <li>Windows XP
    </li><li>Sun JDK Version 1.4
    </li><li>Mozilla Firefox 1.5
</li></ul>

<br /><a name="supported_platforms"></a>
<h2>Supported Platforms</h2>
As this database is written in Java, it can be run on many different platforms.
It is tested with Java 1.4 and 1.5, 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 JDKs, but probably it also 
works in many other operating systems and using other Java runtime environments.
