Installing the RealiMation Internet Plugin
==========================================

NOTE:
The RealiMation Internet plugin requires Netscape Navigator V2.0+ (32 bit) or
Microsoft Internet Explorer V3.0+ and currently only works on Windows 95 or
Windows NT operating systems.

If you did not install the Internet plugin when installing RealiMation you will
need to do the following to setup the RealiMation plugin:
 
Copy NPRBS.DLL from the RealiView directory into your web browser's plugins
directory.

e.g. copy C:\RealiView\nprbs.dll ->
          C:\Program Files\Netscape\Program\plugins\nprbs.dll
     or   C:\Program Files\Microsoft Internet\Plugins\nprbs.dll

This will enable your web browser to find the plugin and the next time you
encounter a RealiBase on the world wide web the RealiMation plugin will be
used to view it.

Having installed the plugin try running your browser with the file "3d_web.htm"
that can be found in the Samples\Demo directory. This web page gives details on
how to use the plugin to fly around 3D worlds.

When RealiView installs, it adds the RealiView program ("bin") directory to your
program search path. You must have rebooted your machine since RealiView was
installed in order to use the plugin.

As you fly around the sample RealiBase, you should note that there are hotlinks
attached to the church and the castle. One of these invokes Netscape with the
3d_web.htm file, and the other invokes Netscape to go to the RealiMation home
page on the web - http://www.realimation.com.


Troubleshooting
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If the plugin does not start when you view a web page containing a RealiMation
then check the following:

1) The file NPRBS.DLL is located in your web browser's plugins directory (see
above)

2) The RealiView\bin directory is on your path (type "set" at a DOS prompt and
check that the directory you installed RealiView into is present in the
PATH= line.)

3) Your web browser is the correct version (see above)


Using 'Full Screen' Display Drivers
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Some display drivers are 'full screen' drivers, and replace the Windows
desktop (for example, the Direct3D Full Screen driver and the 3DFX driver when
used with a single screen).  For instructions on how to enable these drivers
from the plugin see the RealiView readme file (rmview.wri).  Note that the
plugin will use the same display driver as selected within RealiView.
