Supported Software
Last revision January 9, 2012
The tables on this page shows software applications currently installed on the computers of the Mitchell A-59 G.R.I.D. lab. Each operating system in the lab has an identical software set (except as noted in the tables). We are running the 64 bit edition of Windows 7 and preferentially install 64 bit versions of applications when available so they can use all the RAM in the computer.
Some programs have licenses that limit the number of simultaneous users (shown in parentheses). These licenses are shared with the computers in the Mitchell A-65 teaching cluster. Checkboxes in the tables show whether each program runs under Windows 7, Mac OS X, or both.
The older Dell computer "choffman" is setup to control the Contex map scanner. It runs Windows XP. The only application installed on that computer is the "WideImage" scanning software. It has none of the applications shown in the tables for the other lab computers.
