- Note: These are the instructions for the
- plugin. If you downloaded a whole folder, you
- downloaded the standalone application and not
- the plugin. Depending on the
- platform, the plugin is called
- ProjectXPlugInPPC, ProjectXPlugIn68K or
- npProjX.dll. The standalone application is
- called Project X.
-
- How to Install & Use Project X Plug-in
-
- Requirements:
-
- * Computer running Mac OS (PowerPC or 68K
- with or without an FPU) or Windows NT or
- Windows 95.
- * CyberDog 1.1, Netscape Navigator (2.0 or
- higher) or Internet Explorer.
- * The ProjectX Plug-in.
-
- Installation:
-
- 1. Download and place ProjectX Plugin in the
- CyberDog, Netscape Navigator or Internet
- Explorer Plug-in folder.
- Note: Irrespective of your browser, what
- you need is the Netscape Plugin. The same
- plugin can be used by all three browsers.
- Windows users:
- o Make sure you unzip the file first!
- o The Plugin is a file called
- npProjX.dll. It is not a .exe file.
- 2. Start CyberDog, Netscape Navigator or
- Internet Explorer (or restart if already
- loaded). Windows users : make sure that
- your display is set to 16 bit color, or
- else, the XSpaces will appear very dull.

- XSpace enabled web sites from within your
- navigator. Here are some XSpaced web sites.
