Re: Install of Applixware 5.0
Success! First of all, a big THANK-YOU! to this list! The suggestions
helped me install Applix. I have to say that it took a little bit from
each suggestion to finally get it to work. Also I still have one very
small problem with the program: it can't find the 12 pt Helvetica
font.
Overview: I used Michael Smiths suggestion and mounted the cdrom as -o
exec: executable. Though I'm frustrated with the support person at
applix, they did offer that I should put /mnt/cdrom/RPMS in the path
so the install script could find cpio. The command ./setup does NOT
work, as rpm isn't installed. So you have to use the install script
instead.
I ended up using the install script on the cdrom. The first time, the
script failed as it couldn't create /opt. So I did a "mkdir /opt" and
then re-ran the script and then it worked.
1) su root
1a) mkdir /opt 'if it doesn't exist
2) mount -t iso9660 -o exec /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
3) export PATH=$PATH:/mnt/cdrom/RPMS
4) cd /mnt/cdrom/RPMS
5) ./install.bsh -rpm2cpio
It took me awhile to figure out how to start the program. The provided
manual does not bother to explain this! I suppose if I had been able
to run the setup program, an entry to the gnome menu might have been
made.
In a terminal I did:
cd /opt/applix
./applix
This started the applixware iconbar. WITH ONE PROBLEM! I now get an
error every time that says something about not being able to find 12
point Font Helvetica on my system.
Suggestions on how to add this font?

Re: Install of Applixware 5.0
I had to use "mount -t iso9660 -o exec /dev/cdrom /cdrom" The shell script won't execute because the cd filesystem is mounted noexec, making all the executables on the cd inoperable, so you have to give it the option to have these executable. It's somewhere in the applix install instructions, but in small print. --Mike "b.j. halfkann" wrote: > > Has anyone else installed applix 5.0 from CD ?? > > login as root > start X > open Xshell > > mount -r -t iso9600 /dev/[cdrom] /mnt/cdrom > cd /mnt/cdrom > ./setup > > ...that's all > > regards > > bernward > > -- > Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null

The install script was not executable, but it worked for me under Debian 2.2. If you cannot make it work, I suggest trying something similar as I did with my RedHat-problem: Installing the packages according to their dependencies one by one by hand. Since you need *.debs, you have to add some steps: You need to install the package alien (it needs rpm - the RedHat package manager, but this is part of the dependencies). Try to debianise all *.rpms of Applixware with alien and then install them one by one with dpkg. The *.rpms sometimes contain scripts which cannot be translated by alien, but alien tries to make the best out of it. In the few cases, I needed it, it did its job quite well.

I have got Applixware 4.4.1 running on my Alpha with potato installed and am a little bit surprised. This soft always seemed quite stable to me. I had trouble to install the RPMs under RedHat 5.2 using the install executable. So they were installed in fiddling out the dependencies and using the RedHat packet manager. Under Debian the contrary did happen: The install executable worked perfectly well, unpacking and installing the RPMs without conversion to *.deb on the Debian system. > Now I'd like to know whether anybody has experience with the later > Applixware 5 on Debian systems.

It should be up to everyone to decide. I am writing my publications on the machine. The stuff has to be exportable to Word. More and more journals insist on WinWord written text send on a floppy together with the printouts.

Applixware 5
I have downloaded the RPMs for Applixware 5 and converted these to .deb packages via alien. Unfortunately, Applix 5 does not run properly (Applix 4 is fine). I have been in email correspondence with Applix, and purportedly will get some information on a "fix". Meanwhile, I have heard that there are Debian current users out there who have a working Applixware 5 beta. If you do, please let me know what you did, and how you configured either Applixware and/or Debian (e.g., additional .deb files, changes to PATH, etc.). Thanks. Yasha Karant [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Glibc 2.1 Applixware problem solved
Those of you who use Applixware and have had problems when you have glibc 2.1 on your system might like to know that the fix is as follows: Add this line to your ~/axhome/ax_prof (mine is ax_prof4) file: axGFSName:tcp/host:7001 Replace 'host' with your machine's hostname. The fix makes the previous fix of adding a spurious directory to the config file in /opt/applix/axdata/fontmetrics/gallium/fs/ unnecessary.

The way I've found best is to go into the /cdrom/RPMS/i386 directory and convert the appropriate .rpm files into .deb files with alien. Make sure you have the latest alien and the latest dpkg-dev though or you may have problems (I did). Then just install the debian packages as normal. The only weirdness is that it installs it into /opt but that's okay. Adam. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Applixware is the first GUI-based package I've needed to use. However, an associate of mine who has had a bit of MS experience doesn't care for the latest version of Applixware - he feels it's about two versions behind MS in functionality.

RE: Applixware
I, too, am interested in the compatability especially when it comes to power point and word. There are a lot of people out there with old SPARC stations on their networks that are replacing them with NT workstations because Sun wants an arm and a leg to upgrade them to Ultra's.

The installation isn't hard but the easiest way to do it (that I have found anyway) is to convert the .rpm fils that it comes with to .deb packages using alien. I would make sure you have a recent version of dpkg-dev for alien to work properly. It does load word files from what little testing I've done, but it doesn't always do it perfectly.

I think it might be statically linked. I tried the beta but it expired after only a few days (I think it was supposed to last for at least 30, but it didn't.) It is practically IDENTICAL to the Win95 version. One problem I noticed (common to all WordPerfect versions I have tried, including 5.1 and 6.0 under dosemu) is that configuring a PostScript printer and sending the output to Ghostscript 4.0x results in errors (fortunately after the job prints correctly). Ghostscript 3.x didn't do this (maybe 5.0 fixes it--I haven't tried that). They finally announced the price: $199, $149 for upgrade/tradeup. This is much less than other unices, and comparable with the list price for Win95 tradeups, however Win 95 has the full suite (I've seen version 8 for under $100 upgrade).

Yes, I own a copy of applix. I also happen to maintain alien. Alien can
easily convert the rpm's that come on the applix CD into debian packages. I
took it an extra step and added a special patch file to applix for alien,
which should let it convert applix using less disk space and move the applix
stuff out of /opt (since debian doesn't use /opt yet and most people don't
have hundreds of MB free on their root partition.)
Anyhow, let me know if you have any problems with it. It should be as simple
as "alien applix.rpm".
