IRIX 6.5 Applications, November 2002
README
The IRIX 6.5 Applications CD, November 2002, is a companion to IRIX 6.5.18.
This CD contains the IRIX Desktop and various desktop applications. It
replaces all previous IRIX 6.5 Applications CDs (June 1998 through May
2002).
Application upgrades shipped with the IRIX release are either Full images
or Overlays. Updates to Full images are found on the Applications CD whereas
updated Overlays are found on the IRIX 6.5.18 Overlay CDs. Additional
applications can be found on the Base IRIX 6.5 CDs. To install the new
versions of Overlay applications you must install IRIX 6.5.18.
IMPORTANT 6.5.18 Apps 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.

Important Notes About the Products
----------------------------------
Java2 environment
The Java2 suite of tools includes the Java2 Runtime Environment,
Java2 Development Kit, and the Java2 plugin for accessing the Java2
environment from within the Netscape and Mozilla web browsers. These
Java2 images will install and co-exist with the existing Java v118
run time so existing Java applications will continue to function.
CDE 5.3
This new release of CDE 5.3 is dependent on the updated version of
ToolTalk that is included with IRIX 6.5.18. A ToolTalk patch will
eventually be created that will allow this version of CDE to install
on earlier versions of IRIX 6.5.X.
Netscape Communicator Client
Netscape Communicator Client 4.79 is part of the default distribution
on this CD. Customers who only use the browser functionality (and
not the email, newsgroups, etc.) may prefer to install the Netscape
Navigator Client (netscape_lite) 4.79. From Software Manager, open
/CDROM/dist/extras to install this product.
Beginning with Netscape 4.75 the default browser is compiled N32 so
existing Third party Netscape plugins will not work with the new N32
browser. Several plugins do exist in N32 versions. Depending on
which plugins you depend on you may want to install the O32 version
of the browser. These are in non-default installed subsystems of
netscape and netscape_lite.
Teleffect Client for Windows NT
The Teleffect product enables the sharing of a single keyboard and
mouse between multiple IRIX or Windows NT systems. An NT install
shield for Teleffect is located in /CRDOM/NT/TeleffectInstall.exe.
Release Notes
-------------
If you choose to read the release notes for products before installing

From the desktop Toolchest choose System, then Software Manager. This
will bring up the Software Manager window. Choose to Customize Installation
by typing /CDROM/dist into the Available Software box. A list of products
available for installation will come up. If the product name is highlighted
