ACD/I-Lab on the Macintosh

OK, so we're not perfect. Try as hard as we might, there are some unresolved problems on some Macintosh systems that try to run I-Lab. These problems seem to be related to the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) incompatibility on Sun vs. Mac machines. We are waiting for Sun and Apple to resolve matters. In the meantime, to save you some time, we have compiled lists of what is known to work, what is known NOT to work, and what has minor problems.

1. Known set-ups with problems:

N OS OS Version Browser Browser Version
1  Mac OS  9.04  Netscape  4.7
2  Mac OS 8.1  Netscape 4.05
3  Mac OS 8.5  Netscape 4.5
4  Mac OS 8.1, 8.5  Internet Explorer 4.0, 4.51

Solution: (a) Switch to a known working configuration listed in section 2.
  (b) Use third-party software to create a MOL file of your molecule. Then upload the file to the Structure Viewer.

 

2. Known set-ups that have worked:

(We do not guarantee that these set-ups function 100% properly,
but these are in use at certain I-Lab sites.)

N OS OS Version Browser Browser Version
1  Mac OS -  Netscape 4.04, 4.05, 4.07, 4.08
2  Mac OS -  Netscape 4.5
3  Mac OS -  Netscape 4.61
4  Mac OS -  Netscape 4.7, 4.72-4.77
5  Mac OS -  Internet Explorer 5
