Yes. Many GMT users with PCs simply install Linux in addition to Windows and boot either operating system. If you do not have or want to install a UNIX operating system on your PC, there are two ways to go: Run a UNIX environment on top of your other operating system. Under Windows you could install Windows Services for UNIX (formerly Interix and OpenNT), which gives you a free, POSIX-compliant environment with the usual UNIX tools (shells, awk, grep).

The Timesync NTP application is a client, server application that is used to ensure the correct time across a network of computers. The Timesync application is based on Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) which requires TCP/IP as a medium for data transmission. Make sure all cables are properly connected and that your PC is turned on. Close all running programs, insert the driver disk into the 3.5” drive and execute the program A:\SETUP.EXE.

Unix hardware and operating systems are year 2000 compliant at least until 2019 or so. However, the application software used on UNIX computers may not be year 2000 compliant.

GMT has been installed on a variety of UNIX systems, including (but not limited to) computers from Cray, Sun, IBM, DEC, HP, SGI, Data General, Apple (Mac OS X), and Next, all running some flavor of UNIX. GMT has also been installed under Linux and MkLinux, which are open source UNIX-like operating systems for PC and Mac OS 9, respectively. GMT also installs under Windows and OS/2. GMT is very portable and should compile on almost any computer.

If you are running on a unix platform, you can install David L. Mills' ntpd Network Time Protocol (NTP) daemon.

A job should be run in batch if you would need to use the "limit" command to raise your memory limits or CPU limits from the MFCF-generated defaults, unless perhaps it is going to only take a few minutes of elapsed time. You can determine your defaults by using the "limit" command. If the job won't exceed the standard default limits, but will not be done before you leave for the day, then run that in batch, too.

NTP is used to keep the kernel clock synchronized to GMT/UTC. This is a system level function and should be done in the host server. Changing the timezone in a vserver is merely about telling Libc in that vserver what the current timezone offset is. This is done my changing the /etc/localtime file (and normally linking it to a different timezone).

These may suffice for some users, in which case all that's needed is a Web browser, ID, and PIN. Unfortunately, the current versions of the Web products do not provide full functionality. See Banner Web access below for more details. For many non-Windows computers, software can be obtained which emulates Windows. Banner has been tested successfully at McGill using a couple of these products. See details of platforms and products.

NTP is an Internet protocol for time synchronization. For details on it look at http://www.ntp.org on the World Wide Web.

Currently, any Internet-connected Windows XP, 2000, NT 4.0, Me, or 98 PC with a Pentium 550 MHz or above, 256 MB of RAM or more, and 50 MB of Free disk space.

Every level has special computer classes where the basics of how to use a PC and Windows programs, including e-mail, CD-Roms, the World Wide Web and English Language activities are taught and practised. Teachers expect formal written work to be word-processed. Using the computer, classes often prepare booklets of their written work with photos and illustrations which are a wonderful souvenir of their time at the MUELC.

Yes, the library's public access computers can be used by anyone. Although all of the computers ask for a UW-Whitewater netID and password to login, a guest login is available for non-university patrons.

In the Webmin Users module, click on the user that you want to symchronize with Unix and set his Password option to Unix Authentication. If PAM is not used on your operating system, the first two steps can be skipped. Webmin will instead read the /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow file directly to authenticate users who are using the Unix Authentication password mode.

The computers are Dell PowerEdge 850 servers with a single Intel Pentium 4 processor 660 at 3.6GHz and 2MB of 800Mhz cache. All systems have 4GB of DDR2 Ram at 533MHz.
