batuta is a package of Java applets and tools developed by Nemo Semret, for creating, editing, and inter-active display of IP network topologies on a geographical map. It is named after Ibn Batuta (1304-1378), believed to be the most widely traveled medieval figure (the historical novel "Leon L'Africain", by Amin Maalouf is based on his life).
batuta requires a Java 1.1.5 compliant browser. It does not work with older browsers. You must have version 4.05 or later of Netscape Navigator or MS Explorer 4. To be sure in Netscape, open the Java console window (go to the Communicator menu, and select "java console"): if the first line ends with Java 1.1.5, you should be ok. If the last number is anything less, e.g. 1.1.2, 1.1.3, it will probably have problems. For more information on this software please contact [email protected].
This is very much a work in progress, your help is appreciated.
