4.11 Other programs 

4.11.1 Netscape Navigator 

If you don't have any web browser installed on your machine⁵ , or if it is an old version⁶ , the CD-ROM contains Netscape Navigator, installed so that it can be used directly from the CD-ROM⁷ . There is just a configuration file to create on your hard disk (and not on the CD-ROM, as Netscape recommends it  !) by filling in a few dialog boxes. To run the dialog, open the toolbar of assistant Rosetta (if you installed it) and click on the button Netscape . If you didn't install it, you can launch Netscape from the icon Netscape of the folder Rosetta, or from Windows Explorer, by going in the directory ast\view\netscape\program of the CD-ROM and clicking on the file netscape.exe. In any case, the following information message is displayed: Click on the button Suivant Next. The following dialog box is displayed: Enter your name and your first name (or merely a if you don't want to use the mail system of Netscape) in the field Nom entier (whole Name), then your electronic address (or a@b) in the field Adresse électronique (Electronic Address), then click on Suivant. The following dialog box is displayed: In this dialog box, be careful to write the name of an accessible directory in the field Directory, for example C:\ast\astex\config\a, instead of the directory recommended by the program (that lies on the CD-ROM): You can accept all default choices by clicking on Suivant in every dialog box, if you want just to use the Navigator part of Netscape: Click on Terminer (Finish) to finish the configuration. If a web browser is already installed on your machine, you will get moreover the message: If you want to preserve your default navigator, tick the slot Ne pas effectuer cette vérification à l'avenir (Do not do this verification in the future) and click on No.

4.11.2 Sinfo 

Sinfo (System Info) is a program of management of processes and windows (visible or invisible) for Win9x, written by J. Aguirregabiria.

Sinfo is indispensable to kill a process that is not accessible by Ctrl-Alt-Del under Windows 9x, for example the processes Cmdproxy and Winoldap, if you quit a program in a shell of Emacs in a cavalier fashion by clicking on the button to close Emacs window, without first leaving with its own command and then quitting Emacs with its option File / Exit.  

Figure 4.1 The Sinfo utility, to manage processes, for Windows 9x.

To launch Sinfo, click on the button Sinfo of the toolbar of the assistant, or on the icon Sinfo in the folder Rosetta, or on the file sinfo.exe in the directory ast\utils\system\sinfo of the CD-ROM. Note that this program doesn't work with Windows NTx (cf. documentation of Sinfo)  : but Windows NTx possesses integrated tools to manage processes.

Sinfo requires no installation nor configuration to be used.
