+
+SUPPORT
+=======
+This is an early (the first!) release of the eXe project. It is intended
+to elicit feedback from the user community. We expect file formats will
+change. It would be a bad idea to invest a lot of time in creating a
+large package with this release. This release is just for playing.
+
+If you have any problems or have any feedback please post them on the Eduforge
+forum https://eduforge.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=284 or email them to
+d.moore@auckland.ac.nz.
+
+REQUIREMENTS
+============
+The interface for eXe requires the Mozilla Firefox browser. (This can be
+downloaded from http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox). You do not
+need to set Firefox as your default browser (but it doesn't hurt ;-) ).
+
+WINDOWS
+=======
+
+INSTALLATION
+------------
+- Download exe-0.1.223.msi and double click it then follow the instructions.
+- You will be asked what directory to install eXe in. The default will normally
+ be fine.
+- The installer will create an eXe icon on the desktop and a menu-item under
+ "All Programs".
+
+
+RUNNING
+-------
+Double click on the shortcut on the desktop to launch eXe.
+
+A window with "Welcome to eXe: the eLearning XML editor" and a Firefox browser
+will start. To close eXe you will need to exit both of these. Remember to
+save your content before exiting.
The first time you run you may get asked if you want to allow eXe
-to access the internet. eXe does NOT require access to the internet,
+to access the Internet. eXe does NOT require access to the Internet,
just select the option to block its access.
-If Firefox is not your default browser, open Firefox and load the
-URL http://localhost:8081.
+Packages are saved to your "My Documents" folder with the .elp extension
+(eXe eLearning Package).
+
+
+LINUX
+=====
+These instructions are tailored for Windows users. eXe does work on Linux
+as well, but does not have an automated installer. Linux users will need
+to untar the source files and have Python 2.3.4 (http://python.org) and
+Twisted 1.3.0 (http://twistedmatrix.com) installed.
+
-This is a pre-release (0.1.183). The interface will be changing.
-We only support Firefox for the browser. This will not render
-well in Internet Explorer. We have limited functionality.
-There are bugs.
+KNOWN BUGS

+ without clicking on a Done (green tick) the changes will be lost.
+- I you have changed the fields on the Properties page and change to another page
+ without clicking on a Done the changes will be lost.
+- The Outline Pane in the Control Panel has problems with large trees - we're
+ working on it! If you know XUL please contact us!
Have a nice day!
