Currently the applets need
Cinderella (free download from Cinderella.de) You can then use Cinderella to save as an html file, and once opened when connected to the web, save this as a webarchive on the machine you want to use it on. This complication is due to websites not handling files in non-standard format such as .cdy) Please contact me if you have any trouble or if you want a version that will run independently on a tablet or iPad: john.mason @ open.ac.uk |
