Java™ Virtual machine (VM) information

Together has been tested on the following Java VMs under Windows NT/95

Installation

The installation process varies depending upon the product version and what variant of the installer you have obtained. In addition to the pure-Java installer Together has Windows-specific installers.

Installing Together using the pure-Java Installer:

Note that the pure Java installer creates a Together program folder in the Personal profile.

Installing Together using the NT/95/98 installer:

Java Virtual Machine installation


Start-up

To run Together from the Windows Task Bar, click sequentially: The pure Java installer under NT/95/98 does not automatically add entries to the Start menu. You can add your own Start menu command or run Together.exe from Windows Explorer. See comments regarding default JVM startup above.

Using JRE

The installer creates the file Together.bat which contains an example of how to run Together under Sun JRE. You should configure this file for your needs. By default it invokes Sun JRE, which should be accessible on the system search path. If not, specify the full path to the JRE executable file.

In addition, this batch contains -ms and -mx options of jre command. The larger the number, the more memory JRE holds, so make sure you have enough to support the number you specify. Increasing the default is only recommended if working with extremely LARGE projects.

After startup:

Registered file type

The Together installer for Windows registers the "Together project file" type (having .tpr extension) to enable opening an existing project file in Together. Just double-click such a file in Explorer to open it in Together. Together starts up and opens the project.
