Running the GUI

Run this command from the directory where you put the jar file when you installed it:

java -jar ./jmakeztxt.jar

On MS Windows machines a double click on the jar file might suffice and you won't need to enter the above command line in order to start JmakeZtxt. JmakeZtxt will start using the language closest to the one your machine is working with. When you want to choose the language yourself use one of the following command lines. Currently only English (default) and German are supported.

java -Duser.language=default -jar ./jmakeztxt-1-43.jar

java -Duser.language=de -jar ./jmakeztxt-1-43.jar

The double click or the command should display the main screen of the GUI. From here you specify the files and document title, set up the formatting preferences and then generate the output document ready to be downloaded to your Palm. This screen should look like the one below. It may look slightly different on your system as it uses the native look and feel for the platform if there is one available but all the same things should be there.
Image of main screen The usage is quite simple. The main screen has three text fields. Set them to the input and output files and the desired title of the new document. The preview and process buttons then become active.

If you want the new format then select the checkbox. This setting is saved with the other options. The advantage of using the new format is that there is no need to decompress the whole document before it can be displayed. The disadvantage is that the files are 10-15% bigger than the old format.
