DosFreak 2 Posted April 6, 2001 I've compiled this 2 days ago. It's about 2.95M compressed. Lemme know if you want. It GREATLY helps game compatibility under Windows 2000/Whistler. (It can be installed under both.) I would send to Phillip for download straight from NTCompatible but since this package contains files from the Beta of Whistler I'm not sure if that would be allowed. WHAT IS THE WHISTLER APPLICATION COMPATIBILITY TOOLKIT? This package is a compilation of files from the Whistler Beta 2 2462 CD, the Windows 2000 Application Compatibility Toolkit and the installed Whistler files from \Windows,\Windows\SYSTEM32, and \WINDOWS\APPPATCH. This program is for both Windows 2000 and Windows Whistler. Why would you want to use this program on Windows Whistler? The Whistler Application Compatibility Toolkit consolidates all the tools you need to easily fix an application. Windows Whistler standalone does not have all of the tools in one place and is not very informative on how to fix your own programs. WHY I compiled this package because I was tired of Microsoft not up[censored] their Windows 2000 Application Compatibility Toolkit (The Windows 2000 Application Compatibility Toolkit is a program release by Microsoft that applies specific fixes to programs so that the programs can work under Windows 2000. These fixes basically translate commands that are different in Windows 2000 from Windows 9x,NT) and instead focusing their time on Windows Whistler. ALOT of people bought Windows 2000 expecting their programs to work. Many don't. Well with this program they do! I have the feeling that Microsoft will not update the Application Compatibility in Windows 2000 as often as they do in Windows Whistler because they of course want the $$$$. With the included files you will have the same level of Application Compatibility in Windows 2000 as you do in Windows Whistler! Here's a good example of how outdated the Windows 2000 Application Compatibility Toolkit is: Windows 2000 Application Compatibility Toolkit=5/24/2000 Whistler Application Compatibility Toolkit=3/20/2001 Windows 2000 Application Compatibility Toolkit=70 fixes Whistler Application Compatibility Toolkit=160 fixes Share this post Link to post

Toby 0 Posted April 6, 2001 I would really want to check it out so if any of you guys clould send it (or a link) to me it would be great. Great work Dosfreak ! Thanks in advance. tobbe.eriksson@telia.com /Toby Share this post Link to post
miku 0 Posted April 6, 2001 I would certainly like to download it. I presented this idea a month ago and nobody listened. Well, if you could just send the act.exe file in the whistler beta cd, I think that would be enough. That contains the latest patches in it and I guess you dont have to do anything yourself.

DeadCats 0 Posted April 6, 2001 Man, I'd love that toolkit, DosFreak...but RoadRunner's email servers are fux0red right now. Share this post Link to post
clutch 1 Posted April 6, 2001 That's why I host my own email server. Road runner (and ameritech for that matter) seem to have a lot of issues with email. So I just host one on my cable modem. ------------------ Regards, clutch Share this post Link to post
