Visual Works 2.0
Hi all. I just thought i'd let everyone know that i got Visual
Works 2.0 by ParcPlace to install and run.
Some comments:
Set the applzone to at least 8MB otherwise the installer doesn't work
properly.
Set the system version to 7 otherwise the installer doesn't work
properly.
When installing, don't select full install. Instead, install each
piece of the package individually. I don't remember if i had to do this
or not, but you may need to install one piece and then quit the
installation process and start it again. Then again, you may not.
After you've installed the package, buy more RAM and a faster
CPU. While it did run on my system (Linux/X, Linux/SVGAlib) it didn't
run happily. I've got 16MB of RAM and a 486DX50 and to do anything the
program would swap and take it's sweat time doing it too.
You also need to set the system version to 7 and the applzone to at
least 8MB (it wants 12MB) in order for the installed package to run.
I don't know if v2.5 works or not, i don't have the money to spend
on it.
I'm assuming that it will install off of floppies, though i don't
know because i copied the floppies to disk images and installed the
package with all the disk volumes visible the Executor.
Well, do what you will with this info.
Peace...
