Some banks and employers use closed source systems to distribute
statements and pay slips. Here are some pointers to install viewers for
the most popular ones on Karmic :

InfoSlips :

sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin
wget https://www.infoslips.com/downloads/infoViewer_linux_1_0_0_3.zip
unzip infoViewer_linux_1_0_0_3.zip
sh infoViewer_unix_1_0_0_3.sh
firefox
http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/samplecode/AppleJavaExtensions/
Click on download sample code
unzip AppleJavaExtensions.zip
Move AppleJavaExtensions/AppleJavaExtensions.jar into the same directory
as infoslipsviewer
Execute infoslipsviewer

Striata :
firefox http://www.striata.com/resources/striata-reader/index.php
Some of the links on that page is mislabeled, so you may want to go
directly to
http://www.striata.com/resources/striata-reader/striata-reader-linux-libc6/download.html

tar xvzf striata-reader_libc6.tar.gz
sudo mv striata-readerc /usr/bin/striata-reader-1.0-27-linux
sudo chmod a+x /usr/bin/striata-reader-1.0-27-linux

For ABSA Credit Cards you may want to create a script that you can
associate with the .emc file extension

#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/striata-reader-1.0-27-linux -password=0102031234567 -outdir=
$HOME/Documents $1
cd $HOME/Documents
mv Statement.pdf bankCC`date +%y%m`.pdf
# Not sure about Afrikaans statements, so we try both :
mv Staat.pdf bankCC`date +%y%m`.pdf
gnome-open bankCC`date +%y%m`.pdf

Change0102031234567 to your ID number and save it as ccDecode.sh. Then
make it executable:
chmod a+x ccDecode.sh

Hi, shortly after thanking my lucky stars that my bank doesn't use
either of these systems, I received my 
"new and improved" MultiChoice statement, that needs Striata.

I have followed your instructions for installing Striata, but clicking
on the .emc file still does not result in being 
able to read it.

Am I missing something?
