<P>
When the flashcards program has finished loading, click on the above
button to launch the flashcards window.
<P>
This new version of my flashcards has many improvements over the previous
version, including the much asked for ability to run as a stand-alone program.
<P>
1st and 3rd tones don't display correctly for some people. Try selecting
other fonts from the Font menu if you have this problem.
<P>
I'm sorry, the source code to the flashcards is not available.
<P>
<H2>Flashcard Set-up</H2>
Please visit my page on <A HREF="javasetup.html">how to set up and run</A> the flaschards. Be
sure to get the Internationalized version of Java 2 Runtime Environment and not the English only.
<H2>Running Off-line</H2>
To run off-line, you first need to do the <A HREF="javasetup.html">regular installation steps</A>,
including installing Java, having a Chinese font, but not including changing the access permissions.
<h3>Automatic Installation<br>(recommended)</h3>
If you are running Microsoft Windows, you can install the flashcards by downloading and running the
<a href="http://www.mandarintools.com/download/FlashcardsSetup.exe">Flashcards setup program</A>. This
will allow you to run the flashcards from the Windows Start menu under "ChineseTools".
<h3>Manual Installation</h3>
Download <A HREF="download/flashcards.zip">this zip file</A>
and save it on your computer, preferably in a new directory called "flashcards".
Unzipping the file (use <A HREF="http://www.pkware.com">WinZip</A>) leaves
two files, flashcards.html and flashapp.jar. To run the flashcards off-line,
open the flashcards.html file in your browser. You won't need to be connected.
You can then use the flashcards as usual.
<P>
