I have written this program for my study on Universität Hannover with help from
TUI InfoTec GmbH & Co KG.

To run BranchView, the jar file tp4branchview.jar must be placed to perforce
installation directory, i.e. c:\programme\perforce, and in Perforce Client
you must import (Tools/Import) file tools.txt from zip file.

javaw.exe must be in system path, or you must change "Command" entry of
BranchView tool in Perforce client.

After selecting one file/directory in Perforce client repository view, click
"Tools/Imported from Andy_the_Great/BranchView" in Tools menu and enjoy!

I have tested with JDK 1.22, 1.3.1, and 1.4.0 under Win2000/NT.
Not tested(but may be working) under Linux/Solaris !!!

You can use it free, source code is now available.

I have some additional information how to install/use/run BranchView in english
and german, available at http://andrei.gmxhome.de/perforce
