US Government Grants Site not Linux Friendly
30th Dec 2005, 02:05 GMT
The Grants.gov site, which offers information on applying for US Government grants, promotes the PureEdge Viewer software. Unfortunately, PureEdge only works for users running Windows, or a Windows emulator on an Apple platform. The PureEdge Support for Non-Windows Users document spells out the usage requirements. In this case Non-Windows really means Apple-Only. "Grants.gov recognizes that support to users of Non-Windows operating systems and the PureEdge Viewer is often required across a distinct segment of the grant applicant community. Although at this time, the PureEdge Viewer is only available for Windows based installs, Grants.gov offers support for Non-Windows platforms. Grants.gov is working with PureEdge in the development of a Non-Windows compatible viewer. PureEdge has committed to providing a platform independent viewer by November 2006."
