The NEW version (1.27) of DataSlate for PC's

The very latest DataSlate for PC's (dec '03)

The NEW version of DataSlate for System X

[dsx.zip ] [ dsx.sit ]

PC users will need to have the Sun Java Runtime Environment 1.4.1 or higher installed on their computer. Go to:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html and select Download J2SE v 1.4.2_02, Windows Installation, JRE.

OR http://www.java.com/en/index.jsp (for free JAVA software)

The zip file should unzip to a folder called dataslate. Inside the folder is a file called RunDataSlatePC. You should be able to double click on the file and dataslate should run and prompt you for a label file to open. I have included a sample dataset in the sample directory.

If the shortcut doesn't run, you can try going into the program directory and double clicking on the JavaClasses.jar file. If your system has some program on it which opens Jar files (like Codewarrior) it may not start up dataslate. In this case you may need to change your system settings. You may build a new 'shortcut' if you like.

On the PC you will want to use File Explorer, Tools, Folder Options then File Types. Scroll down to the .jar extension and click change then set it to be opened by javaw.exe which is in the Java Runtime folder in the bin directory.

This version should handle pushpins a lot better than previous versions.

Mac users may need to download an updated virtual machine to their machine using the Mac update utility.

The 'sit' file should unzip to a folder called dataslate. Inside the folder is a file called RunDataSlateMac. You should be able to double click on the file and dataslate should run and prompt you for a label file to open. I have included a sample dataset in the sample folder. You may also download the zip file.

If the shortcut doesn't run, you may go into the program folder and double clicki on the JavaClasses.jar file. If your system has some program on it which opens Jar files (like Codewarrior) it may not start up dataslate. In this case you may need to change your system settings. You may build a new 'alias' if you like.

This version should handle pushpins a lot better than previous versions. The "Run Other" pushpin command can be used to display just about any type of file. The "Run Other" command will not work on pre-Mac OS X systems. Mac users will notice that the Mac version has a little Options menu at the top of the screen on the MenuBar. This is because the floating popup menu that should be displayed with control-click (or right-click on the PC) doesn't work on the Mac. So I have placed the popup menu options, mostly tool options, in the MenuBar.

DataSets in addition to the sets on the DataSlate CD, are listed below. The following datasets have been compressed with Stuffit. To get Stuffit Expander for PC or Macintosh, go to: http://www.stuffit.com/expander/ (The free demo version will 'expand' but not compress.)

Note: When opening DataSlate, patience is a virtue. Sometimes when opening a Macintosh in Classic mode, it is necessary to 'force quit' and open the application again.

Another Note: For a set of DataSlate tutorials, go to: <http://ois.unomaha.edu/essea/dataslate/dsltutorial/index.html>

 For processing co-registered 'JPEG' files, send the images to ServerGen: http://www.mouthoftheplatte.org/idl_test/index.html
