The IRIX 6.5 Complementary Applications CD, May 2004, is a companion to IRIX 6.5.24 and the IRIX 6.5 Applications CD. This CD contains various desktop applications and products that are not installed by default.

IMPORTANT Complementary Applications CD NOTE:
Because the .related_dists file has been removed from the IRIX 6.5 Apps CD distribution, users may not be aware of the /CDROM/dist/dev and /CDROM/dist/extras directories. To access these use the "Open" option in Software Manager.

• Mozilla 1.4.1a for MIPS3 only

Important Notes About the Products

• Easy Software ESP PrintPro
  Easy Software ESP PrintPro package requires a license. You can obtain a 21-day demo license for this software by going to the ESP web site.

  ESP PrintPro replaces several files that are part of the IRIX print product therefore these two packages are incompatable with one another. If you install ESP PrintPRO and later want to remove the package, you will need to reinstall print from the Applications CD and the current IRIX 6.5 Overlay CD in order to restore print.

• CDE 5.3.3
  The new release of CDE 5.3.3 is dependent on the updated version of ToolTalk that is included with IRIX 6.5.19 or later. ToolTalk patch 4915 was created that will allow this version of CDE to install on earlier versions of IRIX 6.5.X.
• Mozilla Client
  The MIPS3 version of Mozilla requires the common and libs from the Mozilla package on the Applications CD. Any localized languages must also be installed from the Mozilla package.
• Netscape Communicator Client
  Netscape Communicator Client 4.8a is part of the default distribution on the other Applications CD. Customers who only use the browser functionality (and not the email, newsgroups, etc.) may prefer to install the Netscape Navigator Client (netscape_lite) 4.8a located on this Complementary Applications CD. From Software Manager, open /CDROM/dist/extras 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.
