Up: The Equation Editor

Running the Editor (UNIX)

Under UNIX, the Equation Editor is started by a shell script called WebEQ_Editor. By default, this script is linked in your home directory. To start the Editor, go to that directory and enter "WebEQ_Editor" at your command prompt.

Of course, the Editor is also a Java program, so it can be exectued by invoking a Java interpreter on the full class name. Assuming that the Java interpreter on your system can be run by typing the command "java", then the command to run the Equation Editor is:

      java webeq.editor.Editor [inputfile]

Since the Java interpreter needs to be able to find the Wizard class files, it is important that the CLASSPATH environment variable be set to include the base directory containing the "webeq" classes directory tree. In particular, unless you moved this directory tree after installation, the CLASSPATH should include the full pathname of the "classes" subdirectory of the WebEQ distribution.
