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 The database is no longer being updated although the system will remain active until the end of the year.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.
