Apps
Hi!
> I tested a few more apps today. Heres what I got so far:
Ok, I did test some apps, too:
ZX Spectrum Emulator - runs, slowly but runs
C64 - same as Spectrum
Apple ][ - same as Spectrum
All three start up, boot there emulated computer (ok, you have to wait some
5 minutes for that <g>) and are able to load programs. Don't know if every
aspect of them works, because they are so awfull slow. So not of much use
on slower machines (don't know how it is with a pentium, maybe then they
are usable).
Some programming environments:
Pixie Scheme - works well, loads files, runs programs, seems ok to me
Help - (that's a lazy scheme, if someone is interested in that fact ;-) )
starts up, can load files, can run functions, but sometimes crashes the
Executor on exit (I test with a 1.99q without any number, so I should
upgrade and test again, I think).
ProIcon - Icon development environment. Starts up and can load files if you
give them to it on startup. Can't load files with the open dialog, there is
a assertion violation in the executor. Hangs on linking a program,
compiling works ok. Will test it again as soon as I have the q7 or newer.
MacGambit - a Scheme development environment. Doesn't start, gives me a
"-1" on startup. Too bad, since it is one of the environments I am mostly
interestd in (besides the ProIcon environment).
JB Prolog Demo - starts up, runs, can load programs, can run programs, can
work with it's databases. I changed a little bit in the database and now it
doesn't run anymore, don't know if that's a fault auf JB Prolog or
Executor.
Open Prolog - doesn't start. Maybe with q7. Will test again.
And then there are a bunch of programs, that need System 7. Don't run up to
now, even with System 7 faking.
MuPad, MauseFalle (EMail-programm for the Macintosh for a german BBS
network), PCalc
bye, Georg
