HI Bruce from Central PA
I have never used Unix but am sick of Microsoft so want to learn it.
I use to own a computer store front and training center and stated our with Atari, Commodore and the 1st PC and MS/DOS then Windows
BUT sick of Microsoft controlling the computer industry.
SO have a few questions what is the most common version of Unix I want to download and install onto one of my computers and start learning it.
I have retired and just use my computers for the RV club I have and keeping information and running an RV club message base and two web sites I have.
1.One big question is I use DAILY my Verizon Internet Aircard to get on the Internet. This Verizon software runs under all Microsoft Windows 98,XP and Vista will it work using the Unix operating system?
2.I have a huge database with Microsoft Access I can convert it to Dbase will it still work with something in Unix
3.I have some other programs I use that run in windows will they work?
Since I still have three computers I can continue to use windows and figure this out but thought maybe someone could answer these questions for me.
I saw where a Unix user group had meetings on Eisenhower Blvd in Harrisburg PA now I can't locate that date no time anyone know of this meeting?
Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions I appreciate it.
Sincerely
Bruce

http::cookies::microsoft
HTTP::Cookies::Microsoft(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation HTTP::Cookies::Microsoft(3pm)
NAME
HTTP::Cookies::Microsoft - access to Microsoft cookies files
SYNOPSIS
use LWP;
use HTTP::Cookies::Microsoft;
use Win32::TieRegistry(Delimiter => "/");
my $cookies_dir = $Registry->
{"CUser/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/Shell Folders/Cookies"};
$cookie_jar = HTTP::Cookies::Microsoft->new(
file => "$cookies_dir\index.dat",
'delayload' => 1,
);
my $browser = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$browser->cookie_jar( $cookie_jar );
DESCRIPTION
This is a subclass of "HTTP::Cookies" which loads Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.x and 6.x for Windows (MSIE) cookie files.
See the documentation for HTTP::Cookies.
METHODS
The following methods are provided:
$cookie_jar = HTTP::Cookies::Microsoft->new;
The constructor takes hash style parameters. In addition to the regular HTTP::Cookies parameters, HTTP::Cookies::Microsoft recognizes
the following:
delayload: delay loading of cookie data until a request
is actually made. This results in faster
runtime unless you use most of the cookies
since only the domain's cookie data
is loaded on demand.
CAVEATS
Please note that the code DOESN'T support saving to the MSIE cookie file format.
