Dear Joan:
Dear friends:
There are two plugins that you should have:
You can get them (and other plugins) from Netscape by going to About Plugins
under Netscape, then at the very top click on
"Installed plug-ins
For more information on Netscape plug-ins, click here."
Then select Linux as your platform. This will bring up all plugins for Linux:
http://cgi.netscape.com/cgi-bin/pi_search.cgi
1) the Acrobat plugin: a MUST for libraries. You can get it from Netscape or
preferably the Mandrake rpm from http://www.rpmfind.net along with the
Mandrake rpm for Acrobat itself:
acroread-4.0.5-4mdk.i586.rpm*
acroread-nppdf-4.0.5-4mdk.i586.rpm*
2) a special, fascinating plugin for Linux that will interest your librarians:
It's called the AT &T Dejavu plugin (no relation to Usenet DejaNews). It
allows you to view a phenomenal collection of documents at the At & T
Collection. Installation is a snap.
It's called:
AT&T Labs DjVu Plug-In (Version 3.2.5) for displaying compressed DjVu images
The file is:
djvu_lin.tar.gz*
tar -xzf djvu_lin.tar.gz*
Then go into the new directory and as root or user:
[sher@localhost npdjvu-3.2.5.3]$ ls
README.txt* install* install.log*
[sher@localhost npdjvu-3.2.5.3]#
./install
(be sure your Netscape-Communicator or Navigator is OPEN.
That's it.
The At & T DjVu library is located online at:
http://www.att.com
(note the URL)
http://www.djvu.att.com/wid/index.html
I would suggest again first taking care of all Netscape plugins, then copying
them to Mozilla (remembering NOT to overwrite any plugins already in Mozilla
(e.g. the Java plugins), then checking the "Scan for Netscape plugins" in
Konqueror's Settings.
OK, that's it for now.
Best wishes.
Benjamin
