Installing and running the portable emulation package

Installation

  1. Download the ZIP file
  2. Unzip it
  3. Compile the C programs (more info in the section entitled Compilation below.)

Running

All that remains is to start the webserver, running weblite.jar. On a windows system a double click on the file may well be sufficient. Failing that, open a command window and type:
              java -jar weblite.jar

If you are not allowed to use port 80, read the section entitled UNIX below.
To enter the system, just click here.

UNIX

On UNIX-like systems only a system user can use port numbers less than 1024. It is necessary to run the system using a higher number. The following uses port 8080.

Open a command window and type:
              java -jar weblite.jar w8080

To enter the system, just click here.

Compilation

The sub-directory lite/bin holds binary versions of several C programs. The sub-directory lite/srcLeo holds source text of the programs that are needed for the LeoIII emulation facility. The sub-directory lite/srcKDF9 holds source text of the programs that are needed for the KDF9 emulation facilities.

Each of the source sub-directories contains a file comp.bat which uses gcc to compile everything. It will work as a UNIX shell script as well as a Windows BAT file.

For a Windows user who does not fancy doing the compilations, you can download this ZIP file containing binary programs compiled using gcc on a Windows10 system. However some anti-virus implementations block the download of such a ZIP file
