    System Requirements

    Just about any Unix system.

    X11R5 or X11R6 (might work with X11R4, but I doubt it).

    GTK+ 1.2

    In order to use various features, additional programs must be in your PATH:
     
    Feature Requirement
    Email mail, elm or some other command line email program
    Envelope printing nenscript (included -no user configuration required!)
    Audio Alarms sox, play or some other command line oriented audio player
    Pilot Tool No external tools required - Palm Pilot support is now built into the XNotesPlus package!

    If these additional programs cannot be found when XNotesPlus starts up, then those features will be disabled.

     



     Dowload the software

    Download Directory:

    All the current and previous versions along with supporting software can be found at the XNotesPlus download site.
     

    Stable Binary Versions:

    Linux users who simply want to install XNotesPlus can try the binary version.  This version was built on a Red Hat Linux 7.1 system and is dynamically linked.  It may or may not work on other distributions.
     

    Red Hat Linux 7.1:XNotesPlus-v3.5-Linux-gtk.tar.gz
     

    If you'd like a binary built on another distribution, just provide me a login on such a system and I'll see what I can do.
     

    Stable Source Distribution:

    Most users who are not using Linux will want to compile their own version of XNotesPlus.  In that case, grab the source code:

    XNotesPlus-v3.5.0.tar.gz
     
     
     

    Beta Binary Version:

    The beta release contains all the latest features and some bug fixes, however the new features may not be fully tested and may potentially cause data corruption.  Use this version only if you absolutely need the new features or are interested in helping find problems with the new features.
     

    There is no beta version available at this time.
