But that is not a problem since the majority of the computers in the world use an operating system that supports Java. It really is a world standard. The minimum requirements are: A Java Runtime compatible with Java version 1.1 or later. We had talked about supplying Java Runtime with SignWriter 5.0., when we distribute it, and we can still do that with permission from the Java developers. But that is becoming increasingly unnecessary, since Java is automatically available on the world's major operating systems.
