Question
IBM StandAlone Host On-Demand is packaged with IBM Personal Communications. From what I understand PCOMM v 12 cannot be installed on a MAC OS. How can I install IBM StandAlone Host On-Demand on a MAC OS?
Answer
The IBM StandAlone Host On-Demand is indeed packaged with IBM Personal Communications V12. Since PCOMM does not run on the MAC, IBM has provided a means to extend use of an emulator on MAC with the StandAlone HOD support provided in the PCOMM package.
To install on a MAC, you must have java on the machine, then do the following:
Download PCOMM on some Windows machine and extract the zip file.
Install PCOMM .
Find the Stand-alone HOD at C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\Personal Communications\StandAloneHOD .
Zip up the StandAloneHOD folder.
Transfer the zip file to the MAC.
Extract the zip file.
Double-click on the LaunchHOD.jnlp, and the HOD web start client will install.
