It also comes compiled for five different platforms: Windows, Macintosh System 8 9 and OS X, Linux x86, Sun Sparc, and OSX Command Line (Experts Only). Each platform is available in each feature level. The Macintosh 8, 9, OS X version and the OSX Command Line version will both run on OS X. You can transfer your existing registration code (and configuration) between copies on different platforms, but you can not transfer any incremental mode history that you might have between different platforms. The Macintosh version can be double clicked, brings up a window where status messages appear, and is generally easier to use. The OSX Command Line version needs to be installed and run from the command line (generally using the Terminal app), runs invisibly in the background, and is faster, however it requires knowledge of the command line interface (gzip tar ln ls etc) for installation. There is currently a bug in the Macintosh version that causes problems when you are reading log files that are being actively logged into by the server at the same time that Summary is processing them. This problem does not occur in the OSX Command Line version of Summary. Jason ----------------- Jason@Summary.Net ----------------- Dr. Seuss books . . . can be read and enjoyed on several levels. For example, 'One Fish Two Fish, Red Fish Blue Fish' can be deconstructed as a searing indictment of the narrow-minded binary counting system. -- Peter van der Linden, Expert C Programming, Deep C Secrets ------------- Go to <http://summary.net/list.html> to update subscription info.
