I have TNN, but I don't have any engish docs or text files for it.
Can anyone help?
Regarding the flexnet / and love of M*cr*s*ft products, it comes back to the
plug and play scenario where people love something that is dead easy to
install, and just as easy to configure and operate. Something that Linux and
it's associated apps fall down on.
Things are getting better, I recently picked up a copy of Definite Linux
v7.0 (a UK distribution, based around RedHat in the way Mandrake is), and
installed it on a AMDK6-200 based box in about 20-25mins. That's quicker
than MS-Windoze98 by about 20mins!! What is taking the time is getting
horrible apps like sendmail, and fetchmail working properly with multiple
email addresses on one machine. (Yes Dirk, I have exim, but can't get it to
compile at the moment for some reason).
KDE is helping things along with a nice gui for the users, something that
makes win9x users feel at home.
Has anyone tried running PCFlexNet under DOSEMU? Can that be done?
Regards
