greekconverter Demo Applet

This English version of the German original is provided for convenience of those who are interested in greekconverter but do not speak German. I apologize for my poor English.

Usage

The demo applet invokes the various procedures of greekconverter and provides the following functionality:

• check box console log: toggles the message level between the lowest (no messages, when unchecked) and and the highest (everything including debug messages, when checked) possible level.
• selection list Conversion: contains the available conversions within the applet.
• button Convert: starts conversion of the text in the upper text area and displays the result in the lower text area.
• button Xyz charts: prints a complete listing of the chart tables (Beta coded) to the Java console window.
• button Sample text: writes a sample text (depending on the source coding: Hom.Il. 1, 1-4; BibleWorks: Gen. 1, 1-4a) in the upper text area.

Known problems

The demo applet works with Internet Explorer from version 5.0 onwards and the Java virtual machine Kaffe. The Java plugin for Netscape 6 & Co. (Mozilla, Galeon, Konqueror) uses - at least under Linux - a not Unicode-enabled text area widget. I have no experiences with Opera so far.

Conversion into GreekKeys cannot be demonstated, because it needs a byte stream instead of characters (the Java String class always converts characters into an internal Unicode representation, where not possible the character is replaced by a question mark on output).

If you read this, your browser is not Java enabled or you hava deactivated Java in your security settings.
