Browser System Requirements
Browser Insight operates through Internet Explorer 4.0+ and Netscape Navigator
4.0+ by downloading DHTML and JavaScript to provide Insight user interaction.
Browser Insight does not require installation or plug-ins, but does have
some basic requirements and settings you need to know. Run Browser Insight
on a PC or Mac that is 166Mhz or faster. Actions happen faster when images
are kept in memory. More memory is an advantage for using images. For
Macintosh system users, increase the memory for the application, and turn
on virtual memory. You should have at least 800 x 600 screen resolution
and 16-bit color depth. You can use 8-bit color, but will lose a significant
amount of image quality in the David Rumsey Collection.
The Insight® Browser and Java client software are products of Luna Imaging, Inc.
