Mac os9 and swing

I am having problems running a java swing applet on mac os9. I have compiled the applet using jdk 1.3 and it just doesn't work. How do you setup java swing for mac browsers has anyone done this successfully.
thanks in advance
Danny

Welcome to the discussions!
In order to help with installing Classic, we need a bit more information. There are plenty of documents that explain how to use the Software Restore disks that came with your computer. Unfortunately, there are many possible configurations of the Restore disks which makes it more difficult to pin down a solution. Pay close attention to the number of Restore disks that you have and which version of OS X your computer shipped with. Perhaps this document pertains to your situation: <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301468>.

Performance between LV6.1 + Mac OS9 and LV7 + Mac OSX

Hi,
I use a PowerMac G4 bootable on OS9 and OSX (10.2.8). I run one application (G progamming + CIN) on the 2 OS (one in LV6.1 and one in LV7).
My application do Real Time analyse. My problem is performances are better on OS9 than on OSX !!!
I don't understand why? Anybody has a little idea of the origin of this mytery ??
Thanks for all help.
PS : The same test on a PC on XP pro + LV6.1 and Linux RedHat + LV7.1 give the same performances on the 2 OS...

Of course it's LV7.O + RedHat 9, sorry...
I haven't narrowed down the area in loss of performance :
- profile VI --> approximativly the same result on OS9 than on OSX.
- small VI test on part of code --> performances are egual or better with LV7 on OSX !!!
- modification of the excution thread or/and priority --> not conclusive. (On RedHat, this modification is radical for the increased of the performance !!)
- compiling the CIN with speed optimization --> not conclusive...
The last thing I think, it's that run OSX is more expensive in CPU time than OS9... Is it possible? how test it?
I hope this is not a problem like this, because I can't optimized it !!!

Network G4 Power Mac PCI and CRT imac

Hi every one,
I have just got my 2 computers networked with a Netgear RP614 wired router and the internet connection is working on both.
How can I get them both to communicate with each other as I need to transfer some items from imac to G4 Power Mac.
Thanks in advance for any answers.
Regards from England,
Alan
G4 Power Mac 400 mhz PCI 512 meg. ram 80 &10 gig Hard drives.Radion 9200 Mac OS X (10.3) indigo imac 350 slot loading + 256 mg Ram = 320. 6 gig hard drive OS 9.2.1

Hi Alan,
By "communicate" do you mean logging into one machine remotely from the other?
You can transfer file several different ways between your G4s. If the amount of data is large (10s of Gb), I'd recommend using firewire. For file transfer via firewire, you'll need a firewire cable to connect the firewire ports on the two machines together. Then, reboot the machine you want to transfer files from , holding down the "T" key. That machine will show up on the desktop of the second machine as a firewire device. Once you're done transferring files, simply drag the firewire device icon to the trash and shutdown the first machine.
If the amount of files to be transferred is small, you can use AFP (Apple File Protocol). To set AFP up, in System Preferences, under Sharing, on each machine, check the box next to "Personal File Sharing" and "Remote Apple Events". If you've not already done this, I'd turn on the Apple-supplied firewall rules, via System Preferences/Sharing/Firewall. Then reboot each machine in turn.
If one the Macs you're using is only running OS9.x, you'll also want to check the box "Allow events from Mac OS9" and click on "Set Password" to set a password. This password will be needed by "Chooser" on the OS9 machine to gain access to the OSX machine.
Then to connect from the OSX machine to the OS9 machine (for example), press Command-K (Connect-to-Server) to bring up a list of machines. Hopefully, the machine to want to connect to is listed. Select the desired machine, and click "Connect" and provide a user name and password, when prompted. Then select the "share", ie. user account on the remote hard drive to mount locally. A globe icon with the label of the "share" you mounted will appear on the local desktop. Then, away you go! To disconnect, just drag the globe icon to the trash.

Re: Safari Download for Mac OS9

Does anyone know if there is a Safari download available for Mac OS9 and if so, where can I find it? I'm currently using IE 5.1 and need an upgrade.
Thanks.

G3 PowerBook Mac OS 9.0.x

Hi Ellen;
Safari was only released for OS X 10.2 or newer. If makes use of features that only became available at that level of the operating system. I don't believe anyone has ever even tried to make it avaiable for OS 9.
Why do you need Safari?
If you need is great enough, you might have to migrate to OS X.

Airport Express (Model with 802.11G +54MBPS Mac/PC and Set Up Issues

Hi,
We have a 4 Mac and 1 PC Household. Cable Internet Service by Roadrunner.Cable model (owned) connected to a D-Link 802.11G wi fi router (by ethernet from cable modem)in the family room , then out to a Imac (the half moon base and LCD screen with a airport card also in the family room and the closet computer to the D-Link
router, (we did add a D-Link antenna to the router ? about 10 months ago (a D-Link ANT24-0700 (Version 1.2)and a HP 4 in 1 printer attached via USB to the Imac
,a eMac 1.25 ghz 1Gb ram with airpot card also connected wirelessly (no printer attached on the same floor but in a ajoinging room about 20 feet from the Router, and another eMac 1.0 Ghz 1Gb ram with airport card in the upstairs part of our house (a bedroom) and no issue with Internet connection (it has a Epson 3in 1 printer attached via USB, and a MacBook Pro with 802.11N wireless card in side , bought for a Christmas/Birthday Present and also for college.It to has no issues with the Internet where ever it may be in the house. Our sole PC a HP tower with a added D-Link WDA -2320 Range Booster Desktop Adapter (802.11G) and we added a D-Link Antenna same model as the other a ANT24-0700 to help with Internet access which it did as well as adding some ram to increase page loading time etc. It does not have a printer attached. I will get to the Topic Area now
The Airport Express. I was not involved in the set-up as I was laid up due to a bad back and post major knee surgery , But I always (especially recently) wondered why the light was amber and blinking. I read through the manual and also
Apple.com support and MacFixit.com (which is under construction and moved to part of Cnet.com)and then went to the Airport Express Discussion area (sorry for being so wordy) I need a Twitter account to post!) We have a network name for the D-Link and the computers all were added and it also supports a Xbox 360, a Sony PlayStation 3 and a Nintendo Wi (in online use without issue) but..
A network was also as it appears to myself) for the Airport Express and under the half moon bars showing connection strenght (there is our D-Link network "phoenix" with security protection WPA2 I believe) as I have set up the router, We had a Apple Base station prior that was ? 802.11B (a half moon white unit) still have it in the box ) So for normal daily use, checking e-mail and internet use all of the computers use the "phoenix" or D-Link supported Router 802.11G
and The other network calld Apple Network with numbers and letters after it (and hopefully security) password is unknown , The Airport Express is set up connected via USB to a HP B&W laser printer which has saved quite a bit of money on ink, To utilize that printer you must switch from "phoenix" The D-Link router network to the Apple Network (followed by letters and numbers) The Imac and the eMac in the family room and a ajoing room (after switching to the Apple Network
can than print to the lasr printer. The eMac upstairs and the HP Windows XP Professional software can not print to the laser printer (yet the HP PC shows it as a individual network and a strong signal, equal to the Internet connection from the D-Link, and the eMac (after switching under the half moon (not the proper name I am sure) to get to the Apple Network to print , it will not print, yet it shows a 5 bar signal, same as the D-Link connection. I do believe we have two seperate networks (but do not understand why the two Mac's in the family room can print to the laser printer by simply switching networks and then file and print. ** One other 9probaly major item is that it states to set up the Airport Express with a Mac With OSX 10.4 or later (at the time of set up, we had the Imac and two eMac's all running Panther OSX 10.3.9 9which they continue to have installed) We obtained the HP Tower and Monitor and HP 4in 1 printer ust before Christmas in 2008 and the MacBook Pro in Mid December 2009 (current model and running Snow Leopard 10.6. The HP Tower runs Windows Xp Professional (Service Pack 3) so the MacBook Pro which is much more mobile , could be used to do the set-up, or the HP Tower coulf be moved temprarily, I do recall if Router changes (at least with The D-Link You need to be connected by Ethernet to the Mac
that would be doing the set up/configuration of the router (and it runs OSX 10.3.9 and is a older Mac (with 80Gb Hard drive that is partioned for OS9 and OSX as well , it is under a Ghz processor wise and less than 1 Gb of ram as the last ram slot required a seal to be broken and 256mb of ram (?) could be added
it has 768 mb of ram but knock on wood running well. We use Lacie external drives
on the Imac and both eMac's and need to get external drives for the HP PC as well as the Mac Book Pro (15" screen)
I apoogize if I repeated myself, and rambled but I wanted to (in one post) to explain our set up and network configuration
Questions
1) if indeed it is that the two networks is true and a set yp that is not correct
can the Airport Express be configured without opening up the router (when ever that happens it seems one computer is unable to get online and each time its a differnt one a Mac or veen the PC
The PC under My Computer and Networks clearly shows the wto distinct and seperate netwoks with strong signals and the distance is not far (it is through a floor as the other emac and the PC are upstairs and cabling by ethernet is not a option
2) If I need to open the router would I add the Airport Express as a client as if it was one of the computers or gaming systems on the network? (adding the Mac adress or IP address (not sure how you find the Mac address) and its been while since the router was opened up for any additions or work on it.
3) would it be on the same channel as the router or not ?
4) Hopefully with proper configuration the light will stay on (and green) on the A/E and the eMac and HP PC will be able to print to the laser printer. Currentlt
when anything needs printed from the PC its put on a Flasg Drive and plugged in tothe Imac and the the Apple Network is selected and data printed, The eMac upstairs has the option of using the attached Epson 3 in one or doing the Flash stick work around.
I would be verya appreciative if some one took a look at the set up above and advised me of what is right, what is not right* and what to do to fix things up
I would imagine after proper set up, delete the Apple Network from the PC and eMac upstairs and ? all of the computers as we should have one base station (the D-link and the spoke (the A/E connected by UBS to the A/E (it may be ethernet but the cable connection from the A/E to the HP laser printer is correct (the rest of the A/E set up ... Please , tell me where it is and where it should be
and ? any idea why we can print to the laser printer down stairs and not up stairs ? it did mention printer set up with Panther as possible, page 43 of themanual we have un chaper 5 Tips and Troubleshooting (under whn your printer isn't responding) (we do not have the interfereance listed in the manual,
our phones are land line, one 900 mghz and the others 5.8 ghz
It is possible to move the A/E and laser printer if that would help the two computers (desktops) upstairs) bt the distance is way less than 150 but their is a floor and ? duct work (metal ) but I think here is a place to stop typing and let some of the experts on the discussion forums take a look.
one lst note (as the lap top will be going off to college in the fall (runnning Snow Leopard, and the other 3 Mac's run Panther OSX 10.3.9 should the HP PC windows Xp Professional be the computer to set up the air port express and the Airport Utility proram installed & would this conflict with the current Router (set up by a Macc running OSX 10.3.9 (Panther) i.e (should both set ups be on the same computer?) but actually aThe D-Link is OSX10.3.9 compatible (and 802.11G) and set up requires ethernet connection to a Mac (You type in the numbers and . etc and password as administror and you are in, or should the admin be on the same cpmpuer for the router and A/E ?
(and considering a Airport Extreme Base Station as well as dual frequency simulataneus and 802.11N (for the laptop now) and future, or wait. The 802.11
in theory would broadcast farther..?? even if computers had 802.11b(our Mac Desk tops and the PC 802.11B card
Thanks Again!!!
Many, Many Thanks

Hello again,
D-Link Router is model DGL-4300 (along with a D-Link ANT24-0700 Omnidirectional
7dbi Antenna . Our Cable Internet ISP (Roadrunner) provides consumers with dynamic ISP address's . All Mac's have Airport Cards and The Hp Tower XW4550 has a D-Link Rangebooster G Desktop Adapter WDA-2320 (also with a D-Link ANT24-0700 Omnidirectional 7 dbi Antenna (the PC OS is Win XP Pro Service Pack 3) The 3 desktop Mac's run OSX Panther 10.3.9 , The 15" MacBook Pro OS is OSX 10.6 Snow
Leopard (not sure what is after the .6 (right now) D-Link's website is
http://www.dlink.com , I have configured this router multiple times in the past.
also added as clients on the network (Utilizing the D-Link Router) are a X-Box 360, Sony Play Station PS3, and a Nintendo Wii all of which have on line ability
and enables online video game play with any one online.
As mentioned prior the Airport Port Express is Model A1084 Part No. M9447OLL/A
which is USB conected to a HP LaseJet B&W , model 1020 and some how the two computers near it can switch to the Airport Express Network from the D-Link Router based Network and print wirelessly to the A/E connected LaserJetPrinter
I realize I will need to reconfigure the D-Link Router and add the A/E as a client. I will try first to use the Airport Utility and see if I can do anything
Utilizing it (adding it to the D-Link network, I think its unlikely but worth a try but* the password is unknown but I have a few guess's as to what it may be.
I do have the necessary admin and network paswwords to cconfigure the D-Link Router,
1) * If the the A/E Utility experiment fails and I need to re-configure the router * do I need to (as per the Airport Express Set Up Guide (Use a Mac with OSX 10.4 or later or a PC with Win Xp Home or Professional (have a desk top PC that has the specs) and The Mac Book Pro meets the Mac Spec's)
If I can not get a password to work on the A/E I would reset it using the reset button
And before plugging in the A/E , connect the appropraite cables in our case a USB cable to the LaserJet Printer then plug in the A/E
2) I would then connect by Ethernet from Either the Mac Laptop or The PC to the D-Link router (if not the router will not set-up correctly)
3) The one question that puzzles me is that we are not using the A/E as a base
but a client
in two sections(Using Airport Express , connecting a Printer via USB
and use Airprt Utility to create a new network or join a new newWireless computers using Mac OSX 10.2.7 (Tiger) or later or a PC with Windows XP and it then goes in to the steps of ising the printer for both a Mac and a PC (using Bonjour on the CD that came with the A/E (this appears to contradict needing to use Mac OSx 10.4 or a PC with Win Xp set the A/E up for use as a printer
(joiing a new network or existig one)
And in Chapter 5 Tips and Roubleshooting= Your Airport Express Status Light Flashes amber & Your Printer is not responding (it is flashing amber and the printer does not respond to the two computers upsstairs (one Mac running OSX 10.3.9 & One PC running WinXp and its states to make sure the printer is selected
in the Printer list o client computers, to do this on a Mac using OSX 10.3 or later , open Printer Set Up Utility and follow steps and if a PC with Windows XP , Open Printers and faxes and then follow steps
in Closing ? can I configure the A/E Utility with a Mac using 10.3.9 as above or
? Per Chapter 1 Getting Started use a Mac with OSX 10.4 or later or a PC with Windows Xp Home or Professional
Perhaps I am taking the tips and trouble shooting and Printer Set up out of context or does the getting Started Computer specs contradict them or are they
for use if the A/E was going to be a Base Station and not a client..
Will keep at it,

New HD and new motherboard on Mac Mini and OSX will not start.

Long story but will do my best to keep it short...
Purchased Mac mini #1 at CompUSA years back and bought their extended warranty. Mini died 2+ years later which coincided with CUSA going out of business. Problem was a flashing folder with the Mac logo and a "?" at startup. My CUSA store was closing out and would not service my machine and gave me a phone number for the outsourced warranty/repair department. The tech took my info and decided a new HD was in order. I rec'd the new HD in the mail and a local tech came out and installed it (but refused to test it). After the tech left the same problem was found. Called warranty department immediately (literally 5 minutes later) and they siad they would send another HD as well as a mother board which I recieved a few days later. However, this time the local tech never showed back up and after a few weeks of calling the warranty number went dead. We ended up getting a new Mac mini which has been running fine since.
My daughter needed a computer so I figured I would give it a shot. It was actually very easy to replace the HD and MB. I tried starting the mini and it powers up but I got the same flashing folder so I put in the OS intall disc and after I select the language, I get a prompt that says "This software cannot be installed on this computer". I am using the original discs that came with this particular mini. I cannot get disc #1 out of the drive now but disc #2 says "Mac OSX Install Disc 2", "includes Mac OS9.2", and Disc version 1.3 2Z691-5533-A" on it. The mini itself says Mac mini 1.25G4/512MB/40GB/Combo/Modem on the underside.
Is this due to the fact that the entire inside of the Mini is new and now not compatible with the original software? How would I know what software to buy? Am I better off just taking it somewhere to get serviced or calling it a total loss? Any guidance would be much appreciated.

One the one hand I am being told that my OS discs are not working because they are unique (or keyed) to the original machine and since that machine essentially no loger exists due to repalacing the MB, I will need to purchase new software with a new license agreement.
It is true that computer specific install software is specific to the software with which it shipped. However replacing the logic board means that the new logic board is part of the computer. Unless the logic board was not an exact replacement, it should not make a difference; the original disks should work. In other words it has to do with the hardware not the license. The software license agreement allows the installation of a certain OS to one computer at a time, unless you have a multi-user license such as a family pack, which allows installation in up to five computers in the same household. The original computer specific software can be installed on a single computer no matter how many times. If that OS in that computer has been upgraded to a later OS, that installer can be used to install to another computer of the identical model so long as it is not simultaneously installed elsewhere. However, even then, it can technically be installed on another computer of the same model although installation of a single user licensed software will be a violation of the terms of the Software License Agreement.
The second opinion was that the original mini was equippmed with a powerpc processor and that the new MB I received is equipped with an intel processor.
True. Models of the mini released in 2005 and Early 2006 have PowerPC processors. Late 2006 and later have Intel processors.
Therefore, that pesron recommended that I purchase OSX 10.5 Leopard as this OS will cover both of those processors.
Partly true.
i. If your mini was released with Tiger it will support OS X 10.5x and later. If it was released in Early 2009 with Mac OS X 10.5.6 (9G2030) it will only support versions of Leopard earlier than 10.5.6 and, certainly OS X 10.6x.
ii. It will only both computers if you have a multi-user license.
iii. New Leopard installers will only install on your old mini if the original installer itself was the problem. If the problem is elsewhere, it is not quite as certain. Unfortunately there is no sure way to know that unless you buy the Full Retail Version of Leopard and attempt installing it.

I have my iMac G3 set up with three partitions like you are proposing.
I'd recommend getting virtual box on your new Mac. You can install the latest Linux version easier this way.
The problem is finding a PPC distro you like. I forget how I configured the Linux boot manager, yaboot. I may have skipped it or had it installed in the linux partition.

The Ubuntu folks stopped supporting the power PC a while back. You will have to install an older version of Ubuntu.

I don't need Mac os9

I do not need Mac OS9 Classic so can I just erase everything and start fresh with Mac OS 10.3.9? I have the installation discs for that program and that is what system is running now.

You can just drag the OS 9 system files in a folder called "System Folder" to the Trash & after you empty the trash, it will be gone. You don't have to erase the HD and reinstall 10.3.x. OS 9 doesn take much space on your HD, so may users just leave it even though they rarely/never use it.
You can do the same (drag to Trash) with any OS 9 applications you have installed.

Java webstart on Mac OS9.2

Hi I have a java webstart application that uploads files to my website, I now have 2 people that want to upload to my site that are running mac OS9.2.
They both seem to be having the same problem as that the java application just does not start. They both have Mac OS runtime for Java 2.2.5 installed
Can someone give me some clues as to what may be going wrong and where to look on a mac as I have never owned one and have no idea.
Thanks
Dean

http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macos/377&vid=381
From that site:
Mac OS Runtime for Java (MRJ) is Apple's implementation of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), based on Sun Microsystems' Java 1.1.8 specificationAlso from that site, there is a version 2.2.6 (fixes some Oracle bug)
If you need anything other than 1.1.8, your only option is to ditch 9.2 (which is 5+ years old at this stage!) and get OS X

What programs does OS9 and classic run?

Primarily I use OS 10.3.9 but have OS9 and classic on my iMac from initial installation/purchase. Specifically, what programs/applications might the OS9 and classic run? If they are not programs I use, then I'll delete them and save the space. Thanks.

Hi, David. You should have a folder at the root level of your hard drive called "Applications (OS 9)", and it should contain most of your Classic applications: the ones that run in Classic mode, or when the computer is booted into OS 9 rather than OS X. You can remove them all by dragging that folder to the trash, but check first to make sure no valuable documents have accidentally been filed anywhere in that folder. If you're sure you'll never want to run Classic mode again, you can also dispose of the folder called "System Folder". To do so, first drag the file called "Finder" out of it onto the desktop, then restart your Mac, then trash the System Folder and the Finder file you moved previously, and finally, empty the Trash.
If you have a folder or alias at the root level of your hard drive called "Desktop (OS 9)", trash that too, after making sure once again that no valuable documents reside in it.
Be aware, though, that all of this OS 9-related stuff is only likely to occupy 1-2GB on your hard drive, so if you think you might ever want to use Classic or boot into OS 9 again, keeping OS 9 on your hard drive will cost you very little in storage space. But I'm sure you have some applications you don't use, and you can certainly jettison those.
Note that if you use the Find command in the OS X Finder and select "Kind...Is...Application" in the pull-down menus at the bottom of the Find window, you'll get a list of all the applications on your Mac. In the Kind column of the hit list, all the Classic applications will be listed as such, while all the OS X applications will be listed only as "Application". This can help to identify Clasic applications if they aren't all in the "Applications (OS 9)" folder — as is likely to be the case.

Re-installing OS9 and removing OSX

I have an older iMac with a 333 processor that currently has OS 10.2.8.
I want to delete OSX and re-install OS9 so that I can give it to a nephew with a bunch of OS9-compatible games on it for Christmas.
I have a Mac OS9 installation disc and the original OSX (v. 10.2) discs.
Doing a clean install with OS9 disc doesn't seem to be working. How do I get OSX off?
Thanks!

Hi, Adomby. The Pismo was shipped with OS 9.0.2 installed — a version that is only available on a few model-specific installer disks, including the ones that came with the Pismo. If you don't have the original Install/Restore disk(s) for your PB, you'll either have to (a) order replacements for them directly from Apple by telephone, or (b, and more expensive) buy a retail OS 9.0.4, 9.1 or 9.2.1 installer CD. Your OS 9.0 installer can't be used at all, unfortunately.

INCOMPLETE Mac OS9 uninstall?

I have thoroughly trashed Mac OS9 as instructed and yet, at startup (on Mac OS 10.4.8), I still have an alert window that says (in French, as I have a French system):
"The Mac OS9 system folder you have selected presents a problem. Chose another system folder").
There's a button that says "Open Classic Preferences".
I have not selected the trashed system naturally...When I click on that button, the window goes away and Mac OS X runs fine.
How can I fix this so I don't get that annoying alert?

Hi, Laurent. Did you, by any chance, search your hard drive for all files that had "Classic" in their names, and trash them all? If so, that would have disposed of your Classic.prefpane file, which normally resides in System > Library > PreferencePanes, and will open to the Classic preference window if you double-click it. If that file is gone, obviously you can't do so, nor will you have access to the Classic pane any other way.
I don't know whether or not it's possible to reinstall just that PreferencePane from your Tiger installer disc using Pacifist, or whether there are also other files you'd have to reinstall in order to make that one usable again — and if so, what they are. The best place to ask those questions would probably be in the Tiger Installation and Setup forum, or perhaps in the much-less-frequented Classic forum.

Mac OS9

I have Mac OS9 on the mac i just purchased, but i keep seeing things about firmware for 9.1 how can u get 9.1 onto my mac? Also where can i get MacX from? is it free? I am new to this Apple game.

Each 10.x version of Mac OS X is "major release." So if you want 10.3, you should buy a 10.3 (aka "Panther") package. However, you can get any 10.3.x version of the installer package and update to the latest 10.3.9 with a free download from Apple. But to get to 10.4.x, you have to buy a 10.4 (aka "Tiger") package.
There seem to people selling their 10.3 packages on eBay. Search on "Mac 10.3". You want to get a "retail" or "universal" package, not one that came with a specific Mac.
An important consideration is software compatibility. If your Mac can handle 10.4, you may want to consider it instead of 10.3. Why? Because more and more applications are requiring 10.4.x. When 10.5 (aka "Leopard") is released in October 2007, it is likely that even more new applications will require "Mac OS X 10.4 or later" (one version back). Because of the huge installed base for 10.4, and the fact that many Macs (like your iMac) will not be able to run 10.5, software developers will probably support 10.4 for years to come. On the other hand, 10.3 is already being left behind more and more.
To run 10.4 comfortably, your iMac should have at least 512mb of memory. 256mb will work; that's what G4 Mac mini's had and they came with 10.4. But things may feel really slow because your G3 iMac is a lot slower than a fairly recent G4 Mac mini.

Hi, savith kumar. Your original post does not tell us clearly what kind of program you are looking for. I suspect this is a language problem, and that English is not your native language. But if you would try again to explain what you are trying to find, perhaps someone will be better able to help you.

I am using the mac QQ and when I login it said login timeout.
