PS. I tested over other 140 software. This one doesn't run on my XP (it is
well in memory but doesn't display on screen).
I informed the company. Maybe a small bug or a memory problem. I haven't
time to investigate for now.
Download it and try.

If I remember well, Bill posted here about the beta/freeware version last
November.

Have you checked your Java machine?

You might have a bad Java installation. This app doesn't run on my
computer, which doesn't have Java installed. In my case, it doesn't load
at all, but things might be different if your Java is just the wrong
version.

Yes, the problem is that Thierry had Java 1.3 installed and "Where is M13?"
requires 1.4 at a minimum. Java 1.3 used to be the minimum, but this release
makes use of some routines that are only available in 1.4.

The application launcher is supposed to check for the appropriate version of
Java, but it may be that the check didn't get updated properly. Sorry for
the confusion.
