How to configure your web browser to use Street Atlas USA


Netscape

The following instructions have been tested for Delorme's Street Atlas USA 4.0 under Windows 95 and Netscape 3.0. Please let me know the results for SA 3.0 and other versions of Windows, Netscape, and web browsers on Macintosh.

From the Options menu, select General Preferences..., then the Helpers tab. Then click on the Create New Type... button. For Mime Type use either application or image. Each works the same as near as I can tell. For Mime Subtype put sa4. For File Extensions, put sa4,sa3. For Action: select the Launch the Application radio button and fill in the full directory path to your sa4.exe file. Click the OK button and you're ready to view Street Atlas USA files over the web.

Other web browsers

Netscape Communicator has Street Atlas USA Support built in.

Please let me know the results of using other web browsers with Street Atlas USA.

How to configure a web server to use Street Atlas USA files

For the Apache web server, add the following lines to the srm.conf file:

AddType application/sa3 .sa3
AddType application/sa4 .sa4
AddType application/sa5 .sa5

Or you can put the above lines in an .htaccess file in the directory that contains the Street Atlas files.

If you know the equivalent for other servers, please let me know.
