I can't download with a java machine interface, as Sloan DR1 Quasars, The Multi-body Quasar Addon, and so on. Can you help me please?
Thanks.

Have you installed Sun's most recent Java virtual machine? That's what is needed.

It's available at
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/index.jsp
or download from
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp

The JRE (Java Runtime Environment) should be enough. You probably don't need the much larger JDK (Java Development Kit) unless you plan to program in Java.

Thanks Selden.
Maybe my JM's damaged or maybe I don't know what download these particular file.
When I click on files, JM starts but then don't happens nothing...

Unfortuantely, I don't know why it wouldn't work for you.
It should download and run the JavaWebStart application, and then download and run the LoDN file downloader. Maybe it's a browser security setting. I use Firefox and it works with no problems for me.


In the meantime, the files are available by going to the Lodn Web page at
http://promise.sinrg.cs.utk.edu/lodn/
selecting the Guest browse option
and browsing down to the folder selden/Celestia

Many of them are on the MotherLode, too.
