I've run Timbuktu on Mac and PC for nearly more than 6 years. Great
product, very well done piece of software. I use it on all of my machines
and servers (NT 4.0sp3, AppleShare IP 6.1, Retrospect backup server, etc).
Running under Win3.1 was a bit of an adventure (you have to install Win32s,
make sure you have enough RAM, etc), but I recal it working. Timbuktu Pro
32 is the currently release for Windows, but I'm not sure if it runs on
Win3.1. Timbuktu Pro 4.8 is the latest for Macintosh PowerPC, 4.0.6 for
older machines.
To be totally honest, there have been a lot of things added to the product
since version 4.0 that I have not used. I'm a control/exchange/send kind
of guy...I don't do scripting, I don't do Conferencing, I don't do
Intercom. Thankfully TB2's plug-in architecture lets you off-load the
stuff you don't need!
