      Blocks SpaceKit for Java is a collection of Java classes which provide a simple and consistent application programming interface (API) to the Blocks eXtensible eXchange Protocol (BXXP). The main focus of the library is to provide classes that allow you to write Space clients, also known as mixers. Additional classes help you implement simple BXXP servers.

      Java 1.2.1 or later.

      CLASSPATH must include "spacekit.jar".

      The Blocks SpaceKit for Java is distributed in either .zip or .tar.gz file format. In both cases, the file "spacekit.jar" is included at the root level of the archive.

      Additionally, the following directories exist within each distribution:

• docs - complete documentation
• src/bxxd - source for server classes
• src/common - source for common invisible worlds utility classes
• src/examples - source for blocks client examples
• src/lib - source for client classes

      The "docs" directory within the distribution contains all Blocks SpaceKit for Java documentation in RFC-2629 .xml format as well as the .html and .txt version of the same document.
