However, if you are willing to try Linux, and it's just a question of spare machines, then you might would want to try a virtualization product like vmware. I make heavy use of it for testing out the staff client, but there is effort underway on the OPEN-ILS-DEV mailing list for making a vmware image for the server components, and there is an effort to make Evergreen easier to install in general. It's not a turnkey solution yet by any means, but we hope to get it there. Feel free to join our mailing lists if you have more questions or need more help! http://open-ils.org/listserv.html -- Jason Hi Christopher,

A lot of time is wasted manually making letters for overdue books and we haven't found any easy way of getting Word Mail Merge to get multipe books into one letter. I came accross your project looking for free library software and would like to try it. Unfortunately this organization can't afford to get another PC to use for Linux or give up one of it's Windows PCs for Linux use and I couldn't find a Windows version of your software. Will you be making a version availble to run on Windows? Hi,

For those interested in checking out the 1.0 branch (we're already busy breaking HEAD), you can do so thusly: $ cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@open-ils.org:/cvs login $ cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@open-ils.org:/cvs co -r rel_1_0 ILS The anonymous password is still anoncvs. We'll be getting a bit more structured about our versioned releases, and I promise we'll try really hard to post an update whenever there's a new milestone tagged. There will still be intra-tag patches as we fix minor things for PINES, but the rel_1_0 branch is considered stable -- it's exactly what PINES runs on, give or take a couple days -- so feel free to grab the branch at any time to get the most recent pile of production code. -miker Hey!
