The Archivist window will move to the front when it has finished loading;
this should take 2-4 minutes on a 28.8 kb connection. (Mac users: please wait until the status bar
indicates a complete download.) Once this page is
loaded, there are no other downloads necessary to view the project.
When the Archivist window appears, you will see a Web page assembled from
components drawn from different äda'web projects. Clicking on the
arrow tab will open a panel with four sliders that allow you to alter
this archetypal äda'web page to suite your preferences.
A toggle
switch on the slider panel allows you to view the sources of the äda'web
components rather than the slider settings. Where these sources are underlined,
you may click on them to open the original äda'web page in a third, separate
window.
This version of The Unreliable Archivist
requires Netscape 4.07+; we hope to have a version compatible with Internet
Explorer posted later. If performance seems sluggish, you may want to
increase your browser's cache to at least 5 MB. (Mac users may also want
to allocate at least 25 MB of RAM to their browser; you can do this when
Netscape is closed using the Get Info command from the Finder menu.)
