  1.                 Macintosh System 6.0.5 Compatibility Report
  2.                ********************************************
  3.                         © 1990, Apple Computer, Inc.
  4.  
  5. The following is a list of third-party software applications that have been
  6. tested by Apple with System Software 6.0.5.  This report does not cover all
  7. Macintosh application software, it only covers those applications that have
  8. been reviewed by Apple.  For more detailed information on compatibility of an
  9. application and System Software 6.0.5, please contact the developer/publisher
  10. of that product.
  11.  
  12. The testing that was done by Apple did not test every feature of the
  13. application.  Instead each application was run through a series of “Quick
  14. Looks” (launch, open a simple document, open DAs, Cut/Paste, and print).
  15.  
  16. This report reflects compatibility information on the version number of the
  17. application listed, and in some instances does not reflect the most currently
  18. available version of a particular application.  This list is not intended as an
  19. endorsement of, or advertisement, of any product.  This list is meant to
  20. provide you with the most current information regarding compatibility of system
  21. 6.0.5.
  22.  
  23. Note: Testing was done on Macintosh® Plus, Macintosh SE, Macintosh SE/30,
  24. Macintosh IIcx, Macintosh II, Macintosh IIci, and Macintosh Portable personal
  25. computers using System Software 6.0.5 (when tested using color, all
  26. applications were tested with 8 bit video cards set to 256 colors).  Ratings
  27. for all applications indicate performance of the application running on
  28. released CPUs and released System Software.
  29.  
  30. Troubleshooting hints:
  31.  
  32. After upgrading to System 6.0.5, if you encounter some incompatibility, we
  33. recommend you do the following:
  34.  
  35. *   Make sure you are using the latest version of all applications on your
  36. Macintosh by either calling the developer and/or checking the “Current Version
  37. List Macintosh Software” on the 3rd Party Connection bulletin board.
  38.  
  39. *  If your applications are up to date and you are still experiencing
  40. problems, we recommend that you try removing any Screen Dimming, Clock and
  41. non-Apple Sound programs (referred to as Control Panel Devices or Startup
  42. Documents) from your system folder. These shareware programs alter your system
  43. and may cause compatibility problems.
  44. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  46. The following products passed our compatibility tests.  Where minor problems
  47. were found, they are noted in the “Comments” column.

  129. The following programs have been tested and found to have major
  130. incompatibilities with Macintosh System Software 6.0.5 (e.g. will not launch,
  131. may cause System crash, will not save files properly).  In most cases, the
  132. developers have been notified and are correcting the incompatibilities.
