+
+Overview
+--------
+
+MedJava is a prototype of a large scale distributed medical imaging
+system.  It has been developed using Java, in particular, several
+components of Java ACE.
+
+Here are the key features of the MedJava toolkit:
+
+* Images can be both downloaded and uploaded across the network.
+* Images can be uploaded to Web servers that support HTTP PUT
+  functionality (for example, JAWS).
+* The tool contains more than a dozen image filters to do image
+  processing.
+* The image filters can be configured into the system dynamically
+  using the Service Configurator pattern.
+
+Please send comments/suggestions to Prashant Jain (pjain@cs.wustl.edu).

+Getting Started
+---------------
+
+MedJava applet can be configured with several (optional) parameters
+via the HTML file from which the applet is invoked.  Here is a list of
+the parameters:
+
+Note:
+ 1) * indicates test-mode parameters
+ 2) All Default URLs begin with 
+     http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~pjain/java/ACE_wrappers/java/ImageProcessing/framework/

+Menu
+----
+
+o Open URL
+
+  Allows user to specify a URL.  If the URL points to an image that is
+  readable, then the image is downloaded and displayed in the view
+  panel.  
+
+  If the URL points to a directory that is readable then a window
+  appears displaying a list of files in that directory.  The user can
+  then click on an image file in this window to fetch an image. 
+
+  IMPORTANT NOTE: If the URL points to a directory, the directory must
+		  not contain an "index.html" file! If it does, the
+		  query will fail and no list of files will appear.
+
+o Save
+
+  Allows user to specify a URL to save the currently loaded image to.
+  All images are saved in GIF format.  Note that saving/uploading a
+  file can take a while depending upon the size of the image.  This is
+  because, the tool first generates the GIF format and then sends the
+  bytes across the network.
+
+  IMPORTANT NOTE: The Web server must support image uploading, that is
+		  HTTP PUT functionality. Also, due to applet
+		  restrictions, the server MUST be running on the same
+		  host from which the applet was downloaded from.
+
+o Reset
+
+  Resets the image to the original.  Note that the effects of any
+  filters that were applied to the image will be lost.
+
+o Reload Filters
+
+  Reads the filter configuration file again and reloads all the image
+  filters.  Note that this serves as the trigger of the Service
+  Configurator pattern allowing the tool to reconfigure based on new
+  configuration information.
+
+  The filters are specified in filter.conf.  To add/remove filters,
+  change this file and then select "Reload Filters".
+
+  To specify a different configuration file, please see "Getting Started".
+
+o Zoom In
+
+  Zooms in to the currently displayed image.  Note that the applet only
+  allows to zoom in 4 x times.
+
+o Zoom Out
+
+  Zooms out of the currently displayed image.  Note that the applet
+  only allows to zoom out 1/4 x times.
+
+o Apply
+
+  Apply the currently selected filter.  By default no filter is
+  selected.  Note that applying a filter to an image can taken
+  anywhere between a few seconds to a few minutes depending upon the
+  image size, the filter type, and the speed of the machine on which
+  the applet is running.
+
+o Filters:
+
+  Allows the user to select a filter from the ones that have been
+  configured into the applet.  Note that this is a choice menu and its
+  entries depend upon the filters that were specified in the filter
+  configuration file.
+
+  For more information, on how to specify the filters, please see
+  "Getting Started".
+
+o About
+
+  Displays the "About" dialog containing the version of the MedJava
+  applet.
+
+o Help
+
+  Displays this window
