What is "Quicktime VR?"

Quicktime VR images are produced by 'stitching' a series of images together seamlessly. To view the images, you require a 'plug-in' on your computer, this plug-in can be downloaded FREE from Apple Computer. You can view these images on a 'Windows PC' or a 'Macintosh' computer. These images 'stream' to your computer, and should begin to be visible within a few seconds of you choosing to load a page.

What is a 'JAVA VR'

JAVA VR images are produced by 'stitching' a series of images together seamlessly. To view the images, you should not need to install any additional software or 'plug-ins' on yor computer. The images we show as 'JAVA' tend to be a lower quality than the 'QTVR' images, as we try to keep the file sizes small because you do not see any of the image until the wholle file has arrived on your computer. If you have problems viewing the 'JAVA' panoramas, please see the 'help' section of your computer operating system manual (its in the box the computer came in - look, there, see, and its still sealed..) for information regarding 'how to enable JAVA'.

Windows XP users who still have a problem please read on......

XP and Java.
Microsoft has recently stopped support for Java from Windows XP [Summer 2003]. Users with new Windows XP desktops who visit a Web site that uses Java will find that the pages won't open fully, and in some cases won't open at all, without a separate download.

Why ?
Existing versions of Windows contain a chunk of software code, called a Java Virtual Machine, or JVM, that allows the Internet Explorer browser to execute Java programs. Some XP operating systems (service pack 1a) do not have the JVM included.

Solution.
There is an automatic download and install of the Sun JVM here:

just follow the simple on screen instructions.
