Technical Information
This project was designed for any computer using Netscape Communicator v4.0 at a pixel resolution of 800x600x16bit. It has been tested using the Intel and PowerPC platforms, but should run fine on any platform using a browser which supports the SunSoft Java v1.1.4 standard.

All project-specific graphics on this site were created by Atool Varma using CorelDRAW! v5.0, Adobe Photoshop 3.0, and JASC Inc.'s Paint Shop Pro v4.0. All HTML source was created using Microsoft Notepad and Microsoft Edit.

Lifey v2.1 applet was created "from scratch" by Atool Varma, using SunSoft's Java Development Kit (JDK) v1.1.4. The source can be obtained upon request.
