It's taken me six months but I'm hoping to keep this thread alive with some stateside questions. A year ago I dusted off two copies of the CD not used in years--mine and my library's--and asked a tech wizard at my institution to get them working. After installing
and downloading and transferring and troubleshooting, the tech person told me I have only two options: buy a Windows 95 or 98 computer off Ebay for $100 for the sole purpose of running this CD, or transfer the CD's text and image files (which are not encrypted)
into a folder on my current computer and use the computer's native search engine and readers rather than the CD's software to access the files.
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The first option isn't viable for me or my library/students. I'm doubtful the second option would work well because so much functionality would be lost--so I haven't tried it yet. Is anyone out there still using the CD without access to a very
old Windows computer or a computer with yellow letters (I'm glad to know the ever-resourceful BL still has the CD running)? Has anyone tried using the CD's raw files with different applications (the second option suggested by my tech person)--does this really
work? Or has anyone found a way to make the CD functional on a post-2012 computer?</div>

I am in the BL at the moment. According to one of the standard computers, the VW CD-ROM is still available, but only at special computers (e.g., those with bright yellow keys - I can't see any of those around me).

It used to be networked in the University but isn’t any longer as the CISCO software is no longer supported. It is now therefore unavailable in both the British Library( for the same reason as Oxford) and the Bodleian. It would be of huge use to our students
at Queen’s as all those studying English do Woolf and it seems a crying shame that one Library at least in Oxford doesn’t hold a copy. We would also be able to make it available to other students studying English.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p class=""></o:p></div>
