CoStat System Requirements

CoStat is a Java program, so it needs Java to run. Java is included with the free CoStat trial version and on the CoStat CD and is installed automatically. No, Java programs aren't slow.

In general, if your computer meets the system requirements for Java 1.3, the CoHort programs will work fine.

Windows: 166 MHz Pentium (or compatible) computer with 32 MB memory (64 MB recommended) and 7 MB of disk space for Java. We have found that it is acceptable for the processor to be slower (for example, 120 MHz Pentiums work fine), but you really need to have at least that much memory. If you have less than the required amount of memory, remember that additional memory is not expensive these days, is easy to install, and is a good investment because it will help all of the programs you use, not just the CoHort programs.
Linux: kernel v 2.2.12 and glibc v2.1.2-11 or later, 32 MB (64 recommended), 16-bit (or more) color mode, KDE and KWM window managers, and 51 MB of disk space (6 for CoPlot, 45 for Java).
Solaris: Java works with Solaris v 2.6, 7, or 8. Sun doesn't specify memory or disk space requirements (it probably won't be a problem) but does urge you to ensure you have all the latest Solaris patches installed.

As you might expect, more memory will be needed if you work with very large files. Help : About (in each program) provides information about the program's memory usage.

If you have a pre-Pentium computer or use an operating system which doesn't support Java (like DOS or Windows 3.1), we recommend you stick to the DOS versions of our programs (sorry).

Disk Space - CoStat uses about 4 MB of disk space (not counting Java).
