Mosaic-alpha: DEC Alpha, OSF/1 version 1.3.
No DTM, no HDF, no native WAIS.
Mosaic-dec: DEC MIPS, Ultrix 4.0.
DTM, HDF, no native WAIS.
Mosaic-hp700: HP 9000/730, HP-UX 9.01.
No DTM, HDF, no native WAIS.
Mosaic-ibm: IBM RS/6000, AIX 3.2.4, X11R5.
DTM, HDF, native WAIS.
Mosaic-ibm-static: IBM RS/6000, AIX 3.2.4, linked static.
DTM, HDF, native WAIS.
NOTE: This binary is an experiment; please
give it a shot if the normal Mosaic-ibm
doesn't work on your system and let us
know how it goes. There seem to be
spurious error messages printed in the
shell window when this binary is run;
they don't seem to affect the program's
functionality.
Also note that this binary is the only
one not compiled with debugging enabled,
as the debugging binary was over 11
megabytes.
Mosaic-sgi: SGI IRIX 4.0.x.
DTM, HDF, native WAIS.
Mosaic-solaris: Sun Solaris 2.3.
No DTM, no HDF, no native WAIS.
NOTE: You may need to set the environment
variable XKEYSYMDB to point to the
XKeysymDB file on your system when
running this binary.
Mosaic-sun-lresolv: Sun SunOS 4.1.3, linked to system libresolv.a.
DTM, HDF, native WAIS.
Mosaic-sun: Sun SunOS 4.1.3.
DTM, HDF, native WAIS.
NOTE: If Mosaic-sun does not work on your
particular system, you should try
Mosaic-sun-lresolv instead (unless you
are running Solaris; then you should run
Mosaic-solaris).
All Mosaic binaries -- except Mosaic-ibm-static -- are compiled with
debugging (-g) enabled, so users can send us a core traceback if a
coredump should happen to occur. If you wish, you may strip the
binaries; however, you will then be unable to help us if something
goes wrong, and we may not be able to fix any bugs you encounter.
Note that it is relatively straightforward to compile Mosaic yourself
on, in particular, SGI, IBM, and DEC Alpha systems as shipped by the
respective vendors.
Note further that we may stop distributing any of these binaries at
any time.
