Digital Workshop

Hi Mack,

Our postings must have crossed in cyberspace (see above posting reply to Dave). I've also got it working by copying the DLL into the FF plugin folder, so I'm reluctant to do anything more: "Nothing succeeds like success."

If I thought that 64 bit machines will be going away, I think this issue could be shelved. But, my sense from online reading, is that chip makers, OS developers and hardware manufacturers are promoting adoption of 64 bit. Win 7 will release for both 32 and 64 bit. So, I believe that 64 bit issues, like for the plugin, will need further checking, possible resolution, in the long run.

Kind Regards,

Hey, the fact that it is possible is a good start. I doubt that 64bit technology is likely to fail. It'll trickle down from the needs must to the home user although slower than the multicore technology revolution.

I don't think anybody, even the big companies are jumping head first but as long as programs like Opus keep pace with what the majority of users are doing then I'm happy and if I can get publications running in 32bit mode under 64bit then it will make the transition much smoother.

It will undoubtedly become mainstream as soon as games need access to more than the 3gb ceiling of memory

Hi Mack,

I just read that MS plans to release the next version of Office in 2010 with both a 32 bit and a 64 bit version. I think this could speed up adoption of 64 bit. And, yes more memory is a factor.

Kind Regards,

So of all the applications for 64bit technology and we get a 64bit word processor Gotta love computers.

BTW: Tried Dave's trick on portable Chrome and Plexus ran perfectly. Also dropped the DLL into FF on W7 32bit after installer failed and it to (or is that too) worked!

Now all we need is the recession over, PLPs back on track and SCORM 2004 and Monday will be complete

Mack

what recession?

SCORM 2004 -- are we talking the 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th edition?
It's been around for a while now; SCORM 2.0 is on the horizon.

cheers

Morning Paul,

I think this must be one of those language things that Lar was talking about.

Recession in UK English means 'the withdrawal of the clergy and choir from the chancel to the vestry at the end of a church service' . I think you might be thinking it is the global financial problem caused by the brown bush that has result in a pint of milk costing more than a new car

As for SCORM, Moodle has yet to fully implement 2004 so I think I'm just hoping for the release candidate edition and will move on to the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th edition round about the time the recession is over.
