This page should show a Java applet, which is obviously not supported by your browser.
You could try to change the settings of your browser to allow the execution of Java code, but it may also be possible, that your network connection is configured to block the transfer of Java code.

Step by Step Instructions to download the files required for a local copy of JavaFoil

• Check, whether you have already a Java virtual machine (VM) installed on your system.
  • Windows 98, 2000, XP: open a command window and execute the commands java, jview or wjview. Usually a Java VM can be installed during the installation or when upgrading the Microsoft Internet Explorer.
  • Unix: open a shell or xterm window and execute the commands java and appletviewer.
• If these commands are found, your system probably has a working Java installation. If not, you will have to get the appropriate Java Runtime Environment (JRE) for your system from Suns web site http://java.sun.com/.
• There may be problems with some older Java versions. You should have at least Java runtime version 1.3 installed.
• Download this html file from
• Download the JAR archive with the class tree from the following web address:
• Download the JAR archive with the utility package class tree from the following web address:
  This archive is also used by JavaProp - you have to download it only once.
  
  
• Create a subdirectory "java" below the directory, where you have copied this html file and move the files javafoil.jar and mhclasses.jar into this directory.
  
  
• Now you have both files to run JavaFoil either as an applet or a standalone application. You can run the applet by loading this html page into your browser, by using the Java AppletViewer or by running it from the command line.
  [More details can be found here].
  
  
• To make life for Microsoft Windows users even easier, you can also download a Windows Installer file which contains all JavaFoil files and installs them correctly.
  As the direct download does not work as expected on some systems (you receive a "view" of the the file on screen), you should use the context menu (right mouse button) of your browser to download the .msi file (Microsoft Installer).
  Then you can run the .msi file or use the context (right mouse button) menu to install.
  The Installer will install an html file to be used with your browser as well as a VBScript file (.vbs) which can be used to run JavaFoil without a browser by clicking onto the .vbs file. You can also de-install JavaFoil running the Installer again or by using the Software applet in the System Control program.
  
  The Microsoft Installer is not part of Windows 95 and 98 but can be downloaded from the Microsoft web site:

• Redistributable v2.0 for Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows ME:
  http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=CEBBACD8-C094-4255-B702-DE3BB768148F&displaylang=en
  
• Redistributable v2.0 for Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000:
  http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=4B6140F9-2D36-4977-8FA1-6F8A0F5DCA8F&displaylang=en
  
• Windows 2000 and Windows XP:
  the Installer is included with the basic system. If not, you can probably also use the NT 4.0 version above.

Instructions if you have the latest Java version installed (Java 1.5)

• Download and start automatically by clicking on this link: JavaFoil.

Instructions if you have an older Java version and Java Web Start (Java 1.4 or below)

• If you want to install Java Web Start visit Suns web site at http://java.sun.com/products/javawebstart/ for availability of Java Web Start downloads.
• Start the Java Web Start application (German version shown):
  
• Enter the address
  http://www.mh-aerotools.de/airfoils/java/ws/remoteapps.htm
  into the address field and press the RETURN or the TAB key to see all available applications.
• The Web Start application will scan the address and show you all available applications.
• When you start an application for the first time, you are asked whether you trust it and allow access to files, printer etc. If you grant access, you can run it like a normal application.
• You can later work offline, because Java Web  Start will cache the application files.
• For Java 1.5 see http://www.mh-aerotools.de/airfoils/java/ws/remoteapps.htm
