Q.I8- Why does windows tell me "The C:\xb\*.hlp file is not a Windows Help file, or the file is corrupted."

Since we don't typically work with any UNIX versions of FrameMaker, we don't make UNIX versions of utilities we produce. At one point, we made SUN Solaris versions of various plug-ins, but there were very few users. Even fewer paid the registration fee.

this time, the Web4Print software is only available in a Windows-compatible version, but any HTML forms created can of course be viewed on most browsers on any platform.

Where possible, versions or other changeable information should not be used in filenames. If reusable filenames are used instead, links remain correct when the files are updated. This is particularly important when other sites may be linking to documents that are within your site, maximising the usefulness of the information contained in your site.

Yes. The license manager doesn't need to run under the same OS as client nodes. Also client nodes can be running different OS too. Example: you can install the license manager on a Linux box, then run Examinator under Windows, or Solaris and Linux workstations.

Yes, if you have a Windows machine and the software, the programs work nearly identically on Windows or Macintosh, and the files will transfer between platforms. Be aware that our books may be a version behind the latest software version. The Windows computers in the labs currently have the Adobe CS2 suite and no Macromedia applications.

It makes no difference what operating system you are running on your PC; Windows and Mac should work just fine. All you need is Internet access, a web browser that will let you get out on the Internet and access your site, and an FTP program that you can use to connect to your site.

We started working on a Linux version of Wenlin in late 2002, and we're still working on it (2007). It's still too soon to predict when Wenlinux will be ready for field testing or publication.

When you start Sculptor a Welcome screen will appear. From the Welcome screen you have access to the Sculptor 3 documentation via a menu. Select which eBook you would like to read. Note the selected eBook will open on top of the Sculptor. Use the navigation menu’s to move between chapters of the eBook. When you have finished reading the eBook, close the eBook to return to the Sculptor program To access "ThePlan" you first need to turn the "Advanced Features" on.

A Windoze version was announced on April Fool's Day, and those who missed the opportunity to download it should be sad, indeed; the announcement itself (a work of art!) follows (the URLs are no longer active): I got a little restless during spring break, so, besides sleeping a lot, and scaring squirrels in the yard, I did mad run of hacking and managed to create a suprising beast: GIMP on Win32. http://www.gimp.org/gimp-win32.

It is possible to install the ZIP package of Webmin on Windows using the included setup.pl script. However, this is extremely alpha-level code, and only a few of the Webmin modules work due to packages like Squid, Sendmail and so on not existing under Windows. In addition, the Windows security and permissions systems are quite different from Unix, so anything that deals with file ownership and modes may not work.

Sorry, Soundstream is Mac OS X Tiger only. There won't be a Windows version because the QC framework is not available on Windows.

While the older Versions (98,ME,2000,XP) of Windows were all good operating systems, none them were designed to cope with the magnitude of dangers on the World Wide Web in the year 2008. These systems just weren’t designed to handle the nasty stuff that’s out there today. Most of these systems that I see either won’t boot at all or are so slow and/or plagued with so many error messages that they are practically unusable.

The trick is to tweak the unix side, using symbolic links or making mount directories that simulate the windows path layout. The best thing is to create the mounts to match the UNC paths. On my network, windows machines see the server's disk as //tahoe/jobs. On the unix machines, I can organize my mount points this way: Or, if your mounts are in a directory like /mnt/jobs and you don't want to change that, you can work around easily enough with symbolic link(s) to make UNC paths work under unix.

Due to rounding errors in Javascript on Netscape 3 on UNIX the MD5 encryption application doesn't work correctly.

Yes. Emacs and XEmacs are available for Windows; they both understand and preserve UNIX end of line characters.

Sure, try Dave Flater's XTide web site. He has totally rewritten XTide in C++ since the base version I used for WXTide32. His new version is packed with new features and works great on UNIX web servers in case you want that function.

A#2.1: GNO contains components that originate with a variety of flavors of UNIX. These include 4.3BSD, XINU, and SYSV. It is mostly BSD. As of GNO v2.0.6, GNO has become closer to 4.4BSD. Work is in progress to make it as compliant as possible to POSIX 1003.1 and POSIX 1003.2.

NO - Windows 2000 is the next version of Windows NT and will come in many different packages. A new version of Windows 9* is due in the Year 2000.

Which operating system you decide to use should depend on what features you need. For example, if you are already using IIS, ASP, VBScript, Windows Media, Microsoft Access, Microsoft SQL Server, or Visual InterDev, and you don't have the time to learn Unix-based solutions, you'll have to choose a Windows NT or Windows 2000-based host. Just because your desktop is Windows-based doesn't mean you should use a Windows host.
