Java 1.3 or later JRE is required to run WebMIRS. If you do not already have it installed, once you visit the WebMIRS webpage your browser will automatically go to the web site where it is available and download it. Internet Explorer will also install it for you, but Netscape does not. So you must find the file that was downloaded to your hard drive and invoke it to install it.
