This page links you to documents that describe how to obtain, install,
customize and use Hummingbird Communication, Ltd.'s Exceed software at
University of Delaware.
Exceed is a software package that transforms a Microsoft Windows™ (95/98 or NT/2000)
PC into a fully X-capable workstation. It allows you to access UNIX-based
applications from within the MS Windows environment. It also lets you interact
with multiple UNIX-based applications and Microsoft Windows-based applications
at the same time. Exceed consists of two major parts: an X Window display
server that enables you to use X clients on your PC and on remote hosts
(e.g., Copland, Strauss, Mahler, departmental UNIX systems) and a collection
of communication utilities such as ftp and telnet.
- The current version of Exceed is version 7.0, but the University is
still distributing version 6.2 due to problems with the customization
of version 7.0. To obtain a copy of Exceed, follow the appropriate
instructions below:
- If your current copy of Exceed was installed from a CD prepared by
Information Technologies staff, it has already been customized for use at UD.
If you obtained your copy elsewhere, you can find the local configuation
information in the document
Customizing Exceed for UD.
- After completing the software installation, we recommend that you
customize your UNIX account
on the University's central UNIX systems (Copland, Strauss, Mahler).
- A final document,
How to Use Exceed,
describes basic operations such as cut-and-paste and use of the middle
mouse-button.
