  Sun FE Handbook CD > Operational Issues

Here are the known issues for FE Handbook CD 1.4
Javascript Required
You must have Javascript enabled on your browser to use the pull down navigation button on those pages which use the pull down button.

Shortcut Misnamed in v 1.3
Version 1.3 of the CD shortcut icon and program group name is wrong in Windows. It says version 2.0 and should say version 1.3. Fixed in this version of the CD.

Off CD links point to wrong server (v1.3)
Some of the off CD links were not properly rewritten by the publishing software and continue to point to the development server and not the internet server. Users who have access to infoserver.sun.com will still not be able to access the links that point to infoserver.central.

Windows 3.X support
Support for Windows 3.X has been dropped in this release. Please note that this requires that when using Windows 95/8 or NT that you have the TCP/IP protocol stack installed. This is needed by the pseudo proxy server used by the viewer software to translate URLs into local files on the CD.

Windows 2000
This CD has not been tested to work on Windows 2000.

Accessing Off-CD Links
When running these CDs on Solaris you may get an error message about NetScape not being able to find any of the off CD URLs to infoserver.sun.com . We launch a version of NetScape Navigator for browsing the CDs.  Since we launch our own browser it is not configured with the proper information.  You should go into the Edit-Preferences-Mail & Newsgroups-Identity dialog to set your email identity.

Also, be aware that some of the off CD links go to restricted access systems that you may not have the ability to access. To access infoserver.sun.com you need the proper service provider contract with Sun Enterprise Services.

Adobe Acrobat
When viewing PDF documents on a Windows or NT system you get an error message after viewing 9 files. The error message will say "The maximum number of files are already open. No other files can be opened or printed until some are closed." To work around this problem find the Acrobat Reader program icon on the task bar and kill it. You can now view PDF files again until you hit the 9 file limit.
