Re: Workstation compliance
IBM is well aware of this issue with VISTA. The PDF files are a good alternative. If you plan on using the PDF files, make sure that you install the IBM Advanced Linguistic Search facility plug-in for ACROBAT. This is located on the tools CD, in the PLUGINS directory, with a name of HCLXINST.EXE. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
Re: Workstation compliance
The PDF's are a good alternative for PDF appropriate uses, but navigation (jumping around) in a document is still superior in Bookmanager format. I use both depending on my need and availability. And even using PDF, the Shelf organizer throws a transient error and Vista whines about color schemes.

Re: Workstation compliance
That's what I did on the laptop, but I still like Bookreader for quick navigation in a book. Both formats have purpose. The ACROBAT search works, but it's still slower. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ted MacNEIL Sent: Tuesday, May 27, 2008 2:57 PM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Re: Workstation compliance I can live with it (I have a laptop with it) except, last I noticed, Softcopy Librarian and Softcopy Reader don't play well with Vista.

I meant use it as a work-around. When/If IBM gets it working, you can always convert back. Yes, it's slow.

Re: Workstation compliance
It's been some months since I bought the laptop, some sort of gray java fault box pops up. Bookreader flat didn't work. The shelf organizer sort of works, but Vista complains and switches some color mode setting. Even when the organizer works with the PDF versions, it pops error boxes once in awhile. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Edward Jaffe Sent: Tuesday, May 27, 2008 3:07 PM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Re: Workstation compliance Gibney, Dave wrote: ...

You might consider installing an older JRE and using that for your BookManager stuff. I had to do that with BookManager BUILD. The 6.0 JVM gets an internal exception.

Thank you. I don't know how much flexibility I'll have with the new desktop, they seem to want to go corporate standard around here lately.
