Download PhotoMesa in one of two ways:

1. Use Java WebStart to launch PhotoMesa directly. (Preferred)
   Using WebStart has the advantage that no manual installation of PhotoMesa is required,
   and WebStart will download any updates to PhotoMesa as they are available.
   Note: Netscape 6.X users might need to register WebStart manually.
