Re: how can i install autotrace?


Rob,

I have autotrace and delineate installed in their own directories, and
java 1.4.1 has been installed and working for a long time. System is
Win98SE.

When I run the delinate batch file all I get is a DOS windoe that says
'OFF' and the program ends.

I'd appreciate a push in the right direction.

Thanks.
