E/D 199p3 Report 2of2




The test of apps is simple and geared toward the end user rather than the the
more technical-minded. What does a user want from an application?
That it open its native files, make changes to those files, then save the
files back to the HD and/or print them.

None of the PS files generated by E/D printed when E/D was exited and the
files spooled to Zscript v1.02 in Windows.

The following Mac apps were tested:

Utilities:
ProVue Ram Check v1.0-runs ok-reads 30,643,960 Ram
Speedometer v3.23 -runs ok-Says system is 18.2xfaster than Mac
           Classic
Public Utilities v1.0 runs ok-Tried File Info and Disk Info only-seems to
            accurately reflect disk size & content
Un Adobe v?? GPF's on exit
Resorcerer v1.1 Demo- Runs ok

Graphics Apps:
ColorKnit v3.0.7(shareware-available on AOL) Runs ok
CyberGif v1.2 (shareware-available on AOL) Runs ok
Giffer v1.12b1 (shareware-available on AOL)Runs ok but crashes on
            Save As-invalid opcode
KidPix v1.0 Runs & Saves Beautifully however PS files generated cause
              Stack Fault in ZScript when printing is attempted.
LighteningPaint v1.1(shareware-available on AOL) Runs Ok
MattPaint v???(shareware-available on AOL) Runs until you try to save
             then crashes causing Windows  to Reset the System
NIH Image v1.55 Runs fast & flawlessly
PhotoShop Demo(available on AOL) crashes on startup-fatal error in
           '_unimplemented'
ColorIt v3.0 Finally gets past the sign-on screen then dies-'error in convert
            pixmap. This is an improvement, it used to crash as soon as it
                   started.
KeyCad v1.0-runs ok

Other Apps:
Dynodex v3.0-runs ok-only crashes if you click on "About" button
MS Word v5.1-Runs great!

I hope this helps a little. Having used E/D for some time, I really applaud
your efforts. I have produced real work in NIH Image with it. My major wish
is that ColorIt can be made to run

Warmest regards,
Kevin
