- OK, quickly: UnStuffit finally works! (more or less; I had to run the SEA, then
- quit Executor, then run the actual Unstuffit program for some reason; otherwise
- I got a crash). Like a previous poster, Word 5.1 still doesn't work for me.
- With a 2 meg applzone, it crashes after drawing the toolbox and document
- window (no cursor, though one time with 1.99a it continually incremented the
- page counter at the bottom - fast, I might add, and it got up to over 250!)
-
- Two games that worked with 1.2 but don't function under 1.99x: Glypha 2.0
- (shareware) and Spaceward Ho! (commercial). I didn't really test the latter
- fully, but it seemed to run OK under 1.2. I can supply you with Glypha if you
- want it.
-
- There are several programs which won't start under 1.99b because they claim
- that color 32-bit QD is -not- available. Any idea what would cause this?
- PICTShow and Hazardous caused these.
-
- I had some trouble with HFS Xfer and deleting folders. It may have been due
- to a corrupted volume file.
-
- I'm sure you've said something about this, but is an FPU going to be supported
- in the future (as in, on the Mac end).
-
- One more compatibility thing: Solarian II works under 1.99b! Unfortunately, it
- also crashes without warning at a random time - the action is fluid and
- everything works - and this shareware game would seem to be a good candidate
- for a future Demo volume. Basically, the game just "freezes" with no Executor
- or system error message.
