Download Symulator Lotu for free. We are making our first game, the flight simulator.

For Lotus Notes/Mac OS X users only: Without NiniX, using Lotus Notes is next to impossible on a lot of Mac OS X systems due to the ridiculous font size. NiniX enables you to modify the font size, something that can be done by editing the ASCII notes.ini file on other platforms. Sadly, on Mac OS X only the notes.ini settings are stored in some binary format.Update:vowe, as usual a source of amazingly useful info on a whole lot of issues, had an entry about Silk, which makes Notes screens infinitely more readable. Essential.

I am using a demo version of LN client 6.5 in OS 10.3.3 (Panther) and get the following error message “Domino Directory does not contain a required view”. Our Domino server is v4.65, are the two incompatible?

On April 28, 2004 9:47 PM, Stefan Tilkovsaid:

Mark, it definitely seems that way, but unfortunately I don’t know for sure. When does this happen? If it happens during setup, a way around it might be to simply copy the databases, templates and Notes ID you need to your Mac instead of relying on the setup process to interact with the server.

Hey, I am about to upgrade a network from Mac OS 9.2 to OS X v10.2, and switch from using an Exchange server and outlook over to using Lotus notes and Domino. How much different is notes 6.5 form outlook? Are there any limiting gliches with OS X and Lotus Notes that I should be weary about? Thanks in advance.

It’s interesting that there doesn’t seem to be that much information about Notes and Mac OS X since this page seems to attract a lot of visitors from Google hits … maybe I’ll slowly morph it into a kind of resource page for stuff related to this.

Anyway, to your question: I would say that Notes is significantly different from Outlook on any platform. The reason is that Mail, Calendaring, Addresses and ToDo lists just happen to be a few of the many things that Notes can do; comparing just these to Outlook will almost always result in Outlook being the winner. My advice would be to get familiar with the Notes/Domino concepts of databases, replication, and workgroup-related features; once you have “got” that, the rest makes sense.

Mac OS X specific: I find that Notes works very well on OS X; Silk and NiniX are essential, but once you have used them, it’s essentially the same as on other platforms.

One thing to note - maybe related to my installation only - is that when you send email and include attachments, sometimes they’ll get compressed to Mac .hqx files. The way around this is to compress certain document types (most notably .doc files) with the Finder and then attach the .zip files.

The HQX things messes my users up all the time, you can turn it off by doing this:

File -> Mobile -> Open current Location

AdvancedMime Settings

Change the encoding from BinHex to AppleDouble

Thanks Joel, I’m using this (stumbled across that setting before), but forgot to update the info here.

Yes I´m one of those “googlesended”… I´m looking for any experience using notes in web environment from a Mac OS X side (as client)

Thank you.

On September 2, 2004 7:54 PM, Stefan Tilkovsaid:

Can you be more specific? I’ve used the Notes client for ages on Windows (and OS/2) before that, and switching from the current Notes client on Windows to the same version on OS X essentially posed no problems.

Or are you thinking of using Notes to do Web development on Mac OS X? Then you’d be out of luck since there is version of the Notes Designer for the Mac. Or do you want to use Web apps built on top of Domino with OS X? That should be no problem.

Hello,

Symulator Lotu Mac Os X 10.8

I’m having a problem with Lotus notes databases that where created on a Windows machine. When viewed on a Mac (os x 10.3.5) the pound symbol is being displayed as a $.

Any ideas anyone, we have 4 machines which is the same on all of them.

Cheers,

James Stenning.

I work in a Lotus Notes Windows environment and I recieve an error when using my Mac on the Network. The Error is “Error Loading USE or USELX module : LSXODBC.

The IT guys can’t seem to help.

Before they force me to move to Windows does anyone have any insight? I am using OSX with the current 6.5? version of Notes

Thank You

On September 7, 2004 6:27 PM, Stefan Tilkovsaid:

Dave, this is probably only happening with some of your Notes databases. The reason is that they have been custom-built by either your IT folks or some third party, and they make use of a LotusScript extension (or LSX for short) that is not available on Mac OS X (an LSX is a loadable module that offers a callable interface to the LotusScript environment, similar to the way a COM control can be called from VisualBasic).

While there is ODBC support on Mac OS X, I don’t think IBM/Lotus have ported the LSX, nor are they likely to do so IMO. So if you can’t live without that particular DB (or DBs), you’ll have to either use them from Windows or ask you IT folks (or the vendor) to provide a Web interface to them (if the Domino HTTP task is running on your company’s server, you might even just give it a try - see the Cheat Sheet [1] for more information.

James - sorry, I have no idea about this issue.

On September 21, 2004 4:32 PM, Daniel Dickersonsaid:

I’m using my mac in a desing capacity and have the entire Adobe font library loaded to accomidate our designers, (long story but font man. soft. not an option) anyway, notes does not like this and unexpectedly quits at launch. It’s definetly these fonts because when I pull them notes launches fine. All obvious fixes aside how can I utilize both funtions at the same time. Have the Adobe font library loaded and use notes? Is there a patch or a mod. Any help appreciated.

On September 21, 2004 4:56 PM, Stefan Tilkovsaid:

Hi Daniel - sorry, I have no idea :-(

Wow… another Google referal here…

Surely there’s got to be a Mac OS X-Notes forum on the web somewhere so we’re not all hijacking Stefan’s blog. But anyway, while I’m here :)

I’ve known about this pretty much since day 1 of using Notes on Mac OS X (about 5 months ago, now), but since I found a workaround haven’t investigated it much: does Notes fail to check mail for anyone else while it’s minimized? For the time being I’m simply hiding Notes instead, but I’d love to be able to minimize the window, too.

I’m using Notes 6.5 under Mac OS X 10.2.8.

On September 29, 2004 11:03 PM, Stefan Tilkovsaid: Symulator Lotu Mac Os X

Hm … Krishen: this seems to become a recurring pattern, but again, I have no idea why this would happen (and I’ve not experienced it because I never minimize, only hide applications, and also don’t have Notes check for emails automatically, anyway). Sorry. Maybe the next Google-referred reader knows something :-)
