The PicWeb Builder was written by Mark Watson in 1987 and then upgraded in 1998. The PicWeb Builder is Free Software with just a few restrictions. Please email Mark Watson at markw@markwatson.com is these restrictions prevent you from using PicWeb.
PicWeb Builder has passed the "100% Pure Java" certification by Key Labs. This source distribution contains makefiles for building PicWeb under Windows NT (also works for Windows 95) and Linux. It is assumed that you have a Java development system installed (version 1.1 or later).
If you only want to run PicWeb Builder, then copy the sub directory runtime to your hard disk, and you can safely delete the rest of this distribution. However, you might want to at least look at the software documentation first.
The following restrictions on the use of the PicWeb Builder Source Code are contained at the beginning of each source file (in the sub directory src), and copied here so that you can read them:
