![]() The reason I singled clearView out is because it is built on java. But the company unprofessionally never replied.Maybe one day they will learn to embrace community support so that we can all benefit, themselves included.īefore singling out ClearView, why not try an experiment? Email 10 other vendors of non-open-source software that you'd like to see Linux ports of, and ask them to send you their source code so you can try porting it to Linux, and report back here on how many of them agree, or even respond to you. Being a programmer, and good with java and linux I can't imagine it being that hard to do for me. I sent an email a long time ago to clearview asking to let me help them port the java code for linux. However OSX and Thunderbird are active and will let me know if I have new email. In this way I can use ClearView while XP has NO internet access. I have Windows XP running with OSX in the background with Thunderbird running. Parallels also allows running Linux in the same manner as Windows. This might sound weird but what we end up with is OSX with ClearView running in a window just as it were running under OSX. There is even a mode that completely hides the Windows window. Now that version 3.0 has come out yesterday we can run graphic programs like ClearView, Quake 4, etc under XP or Vista. Using Parallels the user actually has both OSX and Windows running at the same time. This has worked will for me for a number of years. Program using Borland C++ with Windows XP with the internet disabled. The only way that I can ensure that is to never go on line with a clean Windows install. I will not go on line in Windows mode because my contract states that I will ensure that the program I wrote is free of anything. Also when you are running Windows you are open to all the problems Windows has, viruses, etc. Problems is you have to reboot to get to OSX. So, ClearView will run without problems with Boot Camp. I have a 24 inch iMac and playing Quake is neat on the very clear 24 inch screen. I tried a number of Windows games including Quake 4 and they run without problems. Using this program the Intel Mac owner can boot into either (Windows XP or Windows Vista) or OSX, but not both OS's at the same time. Apple has had for some time a free program named Bootcamp. ![]() I received e-mail from a customer that runs ClearView on his new dual boot mac using product called parallels.
