You can see algorithms in action.

1. Each algorithm is implemented as an applet embedded in a Web page. Hence, you can execute it immediately on the Web page.
2. To control an execution of an applet, use the following buttons:
   1. The Step button allows the algorithm to be executed one step at a time.
   2. The Delay button allows the algorithm to be executed in slow motion.
   3. The Continuous button allows the algorithm to be executed without a pause or delay.
   4. The Restart button allows the algorithm to be restarted.
   5. The Quit button terminates the thread executing the algorithm. You can restart the thread by pressing the Restart button.
3. Many programs accept data in the Textfield provided below the control buttons. Before you start typing data, move the cursor there, and press a mouse button.

Your browser must be able to execute applets using JDK1.1 features. Sun's HotJava 1.1.5 should work well. Installing HotJava on a Windows machine is easy. Go to the Sun's HotJava page, select download and then Windows as the platform and No SSL, and continue.

HotJava 1.1.2 is installed on the COE machine eel.engr.orst.edu. You can activate HotJava with the Unix command hotjava. Before you activate this browser, be sure that the environment variable DISPLAY is set to your machine with the Unix command setenv DISPLAY your-machine-name:0. Furthermore, you should have executed the Unix command xhost + on your machine.

(The following information should be updated.)
Netscape-v404j2 or MS Internet Explorer 4.0 can execute some JDK 1.1 applets, but they do not seem to be reliable.
