Dear All,

I have completed the client updates for AllTalk Java (ATj2)1.2.j.1 and created a new Mac OSX AT2j Installer.  This is a beta release.

Can you please try it and give me any feedback.

This java client provides the following:

a) CRAMMD5 logon support (eliminates EQ2 password algorithm Date problem)

b) Support for EQ2 Servers - Earlier versions of AT2J did not support Logon to Legacy EQ2 servers.

c) Run all profiles on startup.

c) Updated Profile editor allowing Multiple profiles to be created and managed.

Installing the new version.

Go to www.lrsupport.com.au/allTalk_links.htm

The new installer is called "NEW Macintosh AllTalk Java Client Beta"

Download and run this.  The Installer will download the AT2j from the LRS website, Create the /Users/<currentUser>/EQ2j folder if it doesn't exist and create new getresults and getresuts.cron scripts.

The new getresults scripts simply contain a SINGLE AT2j entry which asks it to run all profiles each time, so there is no need to specify a profile name at the outset.

AT2j will start, then you can click on Profiles to add the first profile (next release will automatically start the profile editor when there are no profile specified).

To make a Desktop shortcut, simply make an Alias to AT2j.jar (works on the newer versions of OSX).  For older versions (<10.3) use the old Run All profiles script - this will still work fine.

Updating a site from Older Version

To update, a site on either EQ2j or older versions of AT2j, simply run the new installer and it will overwrite the old getresults scripts and start running immediately.  Just make sure that the old version is not running.

For Linux and Unix Systems

1. In getresults and getresults.cron, remove All but 1 of the java statements

2. Replace the text "EQj2.jar" with "ATj2.jar" in that statement

3. Also remove the Profile Name (eg 'default') in the statement

4. Copy the new AT2j.jar into the folder pointed to by the script.

 

In the future...

I have also completed the Transmission utility (but this is currently disabled).  Watch for new releases which will provide methods for transmitting from Java to windows clients.

Glen.
