Installation notes for RSSOwl:
------------------------------

 	Step 1) Java Runtime Environment

    In order to run the "rssowl.jar" your computer must have installed the Java Runtime Environment or the
    Java Development Kit (JDK). It is recommended to use the newst version (1.4.2).
    You can get it here:

    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html (download JRE or SDK under Topic "Download J2SE v 1.4.2")


	Step 2) Installation of the Standard Widget Toolkit (SWT) graphic libary

   	The SWT libary that is added to the RSSOwl project uses Motif. Make sure that the *.so files are
   	on your java.libary.path or any other path that java.exe may access.


Updating from previous Versions:
--------------------------------

Updating an existing RSSOwl is very easy!

All settings and favorites should be stored in your user-home directory in a folder
called ".rssowl" that is independant from RSSOwl's installation folder.

On Windows ".rssowl" should be located in "/Documents and Settings/user.name/.rssowl".
On Linux / Solaris take a look at "~/.rssowl", from the console by typing "cd ~/.rssowl"
On Mac the folder is located in "~/Library/Preferences/.rssowl".

In the case you are able to locate that folder simply copy the new RSSOwl into the
same folder of the old RSSOwl, overwriting it.

In the case you are not able to locate that folder simply run the old RSSOwl, goto
"Preferences" and perform "Export Settings". That export also includes your favorites.
In the new RSSOwl goto "Preferences" and select "Import Settings". That's it :).
