- Important Notes About the Products
- ----------------------------------
- Adobe Acrobat Reader and Adobe DPS
- These two packages have been replaced on the IRIX Applications
- CD with Ghostscript, GSview, and XPDF. You may need to
- manually select these new packages for installation to get the
- software to install. The Adobe DPS X extension has been removed
- from the X server.
-
- Impressario PostScript Renderer and non-PostScript printers
- Starting with IRIX 6.5.24, the Impressario PostScript render engine and
- Host RIP printers have been removed. If you require non-PostScript
- printer support look on the Complementary Apps CD for the Easy Software
- ESP PrintPro package and the 33 printer driver packages. You can obtain
- a 21-day demo license for this software by going to the ESP web site at
- http://www.easysw.com/license-demo.php. The print package and the
- ESP PrintPro package share many of the same files so are incompatable
- with each other.
-
- Java2 environment
- The Java2 suite of tools includes the Java2 Runtime Environment,
- Java2 Development Kit, Java2 Debug Kit, and the Java2 plugin for
- accessing the Java2 environment from within the Netscape and Mozilla
- web browsers. These Java2 images will install and co-exist with the
- existing Java v118 run time so existing Java applications will
- continue to function.
-
- Mozilla Client
- Mozilla now includes a MIPS3 version on the Complementary Apps CD
- for older systems that don't support MIPS4. When installing this,
- do not install mozilla.sw.mips4 but the other subsystems in
- the mozilla package are compatable or required.
-
- Netscape Communicator Client
- Netscape Communicator Client 4.8 is part of the default distribution
- on this CD. Customers who only use the browser functionality (and
- not the email, newsgroups, etc.) may prefer to install the Netscape
- Navigator Client (netscape_lite) 4.8. From Software Manager, open
- /CDROM/dist/extras on the Complementary Applications CD to install
- this product.
-
- Beginning with Netscape 4.8 the default browser is compiled N32 so
- older Third party Netscape plugins will not work with the new N32
- browser. All plugins exist in N32 versions except the older Shockwave
- plugin. The O32 Netscape client s/w is no longer part of the
- distribution.
-
- Teleffect Client for Windows NT
- The Teleffect product enables the sharing of a single keyboard and
- mouse between multiple IRIX or Windows NT systems. An NT install
- shield for Teleffect is located in /CRDOM/NT/TeleffectInstall.exe.
-
