D'ni Linguist's Notebook for Macs
Bear with me. All the information on this page is a combination of theoretical guesswork and experimentation via Yahoo! Instant Messenger. Special thanks to Capella for being my long-distance guinea pig.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
  • MacOS X (anybody want to test on other versions for me?)
  • CyanWorlds Dnifont, which is available here

NECESSARY FILES
(Right-click links and select "Save Target As..." or similar)
  • the program itself, here (83.9 KB)
  • the dictionary file and sample documents, here (6.57 KB)
    THIS NEEDS TO BE UNZIPPED!

INSTALLATION
(I have no Mac experience, bear with me.)
  • MacOS X users are lucky: the Java JRE is already installed on your systems. (At least, that's what the web site says.)
  • Install the CyanWorlds Dnifont. I have no idea how you do this, though, sorry.
  • Be sure to place both "translator_095_mac.jar" and "dictionary.dnc" in the same folder.

RUNNING THE PROGRAM
  • Double-click the JAR file. (translator_095_mac.jar)
  • Wait for it...

RUNNING THE PROGRAM (IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE)
  • Open Terminal. (no idea how, though, sorry)
  • Navigate to the folder where you stored the JAR file. Use "cd .." to go up a folder, "cd [folder_name]" to open a folder, and "pwd" to display the folder you're in. (All without quotes, of course).
  • Type "ls" (without quotes) to see the files in the folder you're in. Make sure it has translator_095_mac.jar
  • Type "java -jar translator_095_mac.jar" again without quotes. Press enter.
  • Wait for it...
