Platform requirements for Stylesheet Splicer

Operating systems: Windows® NT 4.0 or 2000

Disk space: 15 MB (including space for XML4C, XLST4C, and ICU DLLs)

Installation instructions for Stylesheet Splicer The package consists of two self-extracting zip files:

xml4C540_xlst4C17_dlls.EXE
stylesheet_splicer_install.EXE

1. Choose an installation directory. Before in can run Stylesheet Splicer, Windows must be able to find its DLLs. It does so by consulting the PATH environment variable.
1. From a command line, type "path" and choose a directory from the PATH list
OR
Go to Settings, Control Panel, System, (Advanced), Environment and add a directory you have created to the PATH list. (A period "." in the PATH list means "the current working directory." Windows 2000 adds the "." implicitly.)
2. Go to Settings, Control Panel, System, (Advanced), Environment and add a variable to your environment by typing in the Variable and Value fields:
XERCESC_NLS_HOME
d:\your\directory\here (that is, whatever path you've selected)

The program may run even when this variable is not in the environment, but the XML4C documentation recommends it.

2. Unzip the self-extracting xml4C540_xslt4C17_dlls.EXE by typing its name at a command line. Be sure the target directory is the one chosen in Step 1. The eight files unzipped are as follows:
xml4c_5_4_0.dll
XML4CMessages5_4_0.DLL
XML4CMessages_en_US.res
xslt4c_1_7_0.dll
xslt4cMessages_1_7_0.dll
icudt26l.dll
icuin26.dll
icuuc26.dll

3. In the same directory, or another directory in the PATH list, unzip the self-extracting file Stylesheet_Splicer_install.EXE, clicking on the Recreate subdirectories box.

This unpacks four files, three of which must remain together in the same directory:

Styler.exe
Styler.hlp
Styler.cnt
Xalan.exe (command line utility that can go anywhere)

The samples directory contains 15 files, which you may move anywhere.

For further information and instructions, type "Styler" on a command line to start the program and find the "Quick Start" section under "Help, Help topics." (Note the instructions to double-click twice.) More information about Installation is available under "How to install."
