Relibase Client software on PC

For visualization of query results, Relibase uses Roger Sayle's RasWin (version 2.6.4)

All clients accessing the Relibase server require installation of RasWin (2.6.4) together with some software establishing the interprocess communication between the Relibase server and RasWin.

1. Install Relibase client software on a PC

Extract the PC Relibase ZIP archive and make sure that the files are accessible from the PC on which you wish to install the Relibase client software. Extracting the archive requires a utility program such as WinZip, a trial version of which is downloadable from http://www.winzip.com
On the PC you wish to install Relibase client application, run
```
   <relibase-dist>\setup.exe
```
Replace <relibase-dist> with the location of your extracted PC Relibase distribution.
The installation wizard will take you through the steps necessary to install the Relibase client software.
Depending on the Web browser you are using (Netscape, Internet Explorer), please follow the instructions below to install the software.

Microsoft Internet Explorer

The installation procedure will set up your computer so that Internet Explorer automatically recognises Relibase file types.

Netscape

If you are using Netscape Version (Version 4 of higher required), you must set up the browser to recognise Relibase file types.

Netscape configuration:

Select Preferences... from the Netscape Edit menu. A dialogue box will appear.
Select Applications from the Category list at the left-hand side of the dialogue box.
Check the Description list that will appear at the right-hand side of the dialogue box for an entry Relibase File:
- If Relibase File is listed then select it and click the Edit... button.
- If Relibase File is not listed then click the New Type... button.

The following information may be required by the resulting dialogue box:

   MIME type:              chemical/x-relibase
   Application:            <relibase-dir>\phythonw.exe <relibase-dir>\reliclient.py %1

where <relibase-dir> is the directory in which you installed the Relibase client software.
