Nova Runtime Example Code
=========================

All example code and web pages are installed to the following directory as default:

 - "C:\Program Files\Nova Runtime\code".



To Run a Nova Application
=========================

 - Right click on the Nova source file and select "Run".

 - Using the command line:
     - Ensure that "nova.exe" is included or edit the Windows "Path" system variable to include it.
     - Enter the following: nova "Example_01 [hello world!].nova"

 - A nova source file can be dragged onto the nova.exe Runtime binary (drag and drop style).  If done
   with the right mouse button the "Open With" action is then selected.



Security Notes
==============

 - Currently, there is no access to the local machine's file system or registry via the Nova Runtime.

 - Only one window may be created per Nova applet (to prevent multiple popups).

 - A maximum of ten windows may be created by a Nova application (to prevent flooding the desktop).

 - A maximum of ten Nova applets can run at any one time per plugin type (to prevent overloading).



Forthcoming Features
====================

 - Nova class files.

 - And much more...
