Quicken 98 Follow-Up -- 12:07 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

After perusing Google Groups a little further, I came across this article that gave information on how to get online registering to work with Quicken 98. Mind you, I was never able to register online from the moment I got it. In case that link breaks in the future, here's the details:

  1. Backup c:\windows\QUICKEN.INI
  2. Open QUICKEN.INI in Notepad and delete everything in the section [Internet]
  3. Replace that section with this:
    [Internet]
    Stay_Connected=TRUE
    StockPriceURL=http://www.intuit.co.uk/investments/sharestart.htm
    BaseUrl=http://onlmain.quicken.com/bin/onlb/
    DataDownloadCgi=http://onlpatchuk.quicken.com/bin/onlc/datadld3x.cgi
    StockQuoteCgi=http://onlpatch1.quicken.com/bin/onlb/stockqt2.cgi
    CurrencyRateDownload=http://www.intuit.de/currency/data_de.txt
    PatchDownloadCgi=http://onlpatchuk.quicken.com/bin/onlc/datadld3x.cgi
    UpdateDirCgi=http://onlmain.quicken.com/bin/onlb/updatedir.cgi
    CreditCheckCgi=http://onlmain.quicken.com/bin/onlb/credchk2.cgi
    AdServerCgi=http://onlad.quicken.com/adsv/adServer.asp
    Disconnect_Type=0
    Timeout=5
    UpdateOnStartup=FALSE
    RegisterCgi=http://registerqt.intuit.com/icreg/icswreg.asp
    ExCurr=0

After I did that, everything worked fine.

NWN Linux Installer Follow-Up -- 10:28 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun

This morning I tried Ravage's Neverwinter Nights Linux installer that includes the 1.29 patch. I'm not sure what version of the beta he includes. At any rate, the installer worked flawlessly. All I had to do is give the nwn directory "games" group ownership and change permissions to give the group write access (check the second bullet point to see how I did that). I hope Bioware talks to Ravage when they create their installer for the final version of the client. BTW, you will need 1G free in your /tmp directory when you install this.

UPDATE! A post by Ravage indicates that this installer is using the second (and most current as of this writing) beta client.
