Readerware 1.01 Release Notes
The main reason for this release is to support the
new Library of Congress web site:
The Library of Congress is closing their
old mainframe based database known as LOCIS. The database is no longer
being updated although the system will remain active until the end of the
year. Readerware will continue to support LOCIS until it is officially
closed. Although new titles are no longer being added, it is still an excellent
resource. As people migrate to the new system you might find response time
on the old system very good. Select "LOCIS" from the site combo box
to access the old Library of Congress database. Locis is scheduled
to close permanently at the end of the year.
The Library of Congress have opened their new
web based database known as Voyager. Readerware 1.01 fully supports Voyager.
You can continue to search and catalog from the huge Library of Congress
database without any change. The new system has had some initial performance
problems, but our testing now shows that Voyager is performing very well.
Select
"Library of Congress" from the site list to access the new Voyager database.
The Library of Congress experimental search system
has closed and is no longer accessible from Readerware.
There is a new Linux distribution for Readerware
1.01. Linux users can now run Readerware with the Blackdown Java 2 support.
Due to changes in the web pages at Barnes and
Noble, the Readerware price check feature was reporting the list price.
This has been fixed.
Readerware 1.00 Release Notes
Windows 95 users
Readerware may not run reliably with Winsock 1.1
which is included with Windows 95. If you still have Winsock 1.1 installed
and experience problems, you must upgrade to Winsock 2.0.
The following URL contains information about how
to determine if the Winsock 2.0 components are installed on a Windows 95
platform:
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q177/7/19.asp
You can download Winsock 2.0 for Windows 95 from
Microsoft:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/downloads/contents/wuadmintools/s_wunetworkingtools/w95sockets2/
Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 98 include Winsock 2.0
so this is only an issue for Windows 95 users.
Java Runtime
Readerware requires a Java 2 VM runtime. The standard
Windows 95/98/NT distribution includes the Sun Java 2 (1.2.2) runtime,
distributions for other platforms do not currently include the Java runtime
and it must be provided by the user. You can use another Java 2 runtime
under Windows if you have one installed. We have tested Readerware with
the Sun HotSpot VM and Readerware will function correctly. However we do
not recommend the use of HotSpot as performance is degraded.
