Etomite
« on: Wednesday 07 November 07 13:24 GMT (UK) »

Having just received my free space I thought I'd read many of these help messages and replies etc. and experiment a bit.

During my browsing I found reference to Etomite which appears to be just what I would like to use so I've downloaded and unzipped it.  I also went to http://docs.etomite.com/GetReady.html to read about Etomite and how to install it.  I'd seen somewhere that Trystan said the documentation is more difficult than the software and I can vouch for that Wink  Using the instructions - which are not as good as they could be - I have been unable to even install Etomite and am begining to wonder if the instructions have kept pace with software updates!

I'd downloaded the .zip file - perhaps that was wrong.

Please can somebody advise?

Regards

Chas,

So you've downloaded the zip file on your PC at home I take and unzipped it there?

Etomite is a good little package, I built a demo of it (on an older version): http://trystan.rootschat.net/

Snip


Trystan,

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, it's unzipped but I cannot install it!

Do I need to set-up download anything else?

I note that your demo says you can set it up - may I ask you to do it please?

I was OK in the days of drawing out analogues with discrete components but I left computers years ago in the days of the Digital PDP series and my only software experience since then is with RTL 2 Q.A. and that ended 20 or so years ago!

Regards

Chas,

Yikes!

BFY51, AC128, 1/4 Watt Resistors and Mylar capacitors. Heh, them were the days. I can still smell the rosin from the lead solder. Ah.

Ok, I'll have a go at installing it for you if you really have given up. Send me your site details by personal message and a post card  Wink , and I'll set it up for you.
