Does Stus EduWeb run on an iMac?
No… and yes. The EduWeb setup program is a Windows application, which means you need to run it on a Windows computer. But the webpages and folder structure it creates are totally platform independent. The EduWeb folder that constitutes the student-centred intranet can be transferred to a webserver, an Apple Mac, a Linux box, a Novell Netware or Windows NT server. Apple Macs can access the intranet without restriction. If there is a desire to run the EduWeb application itself on an iMac, you need a Pentium emulator such as Real PC or Virtual PC to allow you to run Windows on the iMac. With EduWeb 2004 and later, there are numerous new applets such as the News, Calendar, Photo Gallery, Photo Studio and FTP programs. These are all Windows programs and cannot be run on an iMac without a Pentium emulator. However, all that is required is one Windows PC in the school, and all of these applets can be used.
