installation.
- DOORS API and sockets
- The DOORS API only works with TCP/IP communication. Socket-based communication in Linux is not supported.
- Colors
- Display cards that support only 256 colors might result in unusual color effects.
- DISPLAY variables for all Linux installations
- The X display must be specified with the DISPLAY environment variable. Using the standard -display or -d options does not work.
- Dual boot machines
- If you have a dual boot machine and DOORS is installed on one of the operating systems you cannot install it on the other operating system as well.
