Once these new versions are released, CaTS will evaluate them for support. At this time, we do not anticipate distributing these programs during calendar year 2001. CaTS will continue to recommend Office 2000 and Windows 2000. Many departments prefer the FileMaker Pro database program because it supports both Windows and Macintosh users and because they prefer FileMaker's ease of use and features. CaTS, in conjunction with the School of Medicine and the College of Education and Human Services has signed a license agreement to upgrade the campus to FileMaker 5.
Licenses are available for university-owned computers only.
Contact the CaTS Help Desk for installation. I've heard warnings about Visual Studio. The Visual Studio package is designed for software developers and contains programming languages and other tools. During the installation process significant changes are made to your operating system. In some cases, this installation process can fail, or leave your operating system corrupted or damaged.
