- I love seeing those Bleeding Edge releases... I'm not sure if anyone
- else has seen the same problems I have or not, so I thought I'd post some
- of my experience with the latest Bleeding Edge (199o4). I'm using E/L on
- a PCI-bus 486DX2 w/ an S3-Trio Video card:
-
- 1) SimCity 2000 loads for the first time ever! (Thanks to the new
- -system 7 command!) I get the title screen, and can go past to what
- appears to be the "playing" mode... (I'll explain..) There are some
- odd quirks that may be good for ARDI to debug. First off, the window
- that says "This copy is Registered to..." doesn't pop-up in the
- center of the screen as does a true-mac. Secondly, the "mini-menus"
- appear to be gibberish--just a bunch of pixel dust... Are these just
- system seven specific things that don't work yet?
-
- 2) Microsoft Word5.1a doesn't work anymore... :-( I'm at work, so I
- can't tell you the exact error now, but If someone wants to know, I'll
- tell you. (I'm sure ARDI either already knows this, or its a matter
- of some config files that were changed and not included in the
- Bleeding Edge...)
-
- Its looking great! Looking forward to full Sys7 support (not to mention
- drop in OS replacement support in the future.
-
- By the way, I have seen a "look and feel" enhancer for the macintosh on my
- friends machine a while back. It basically changed the graphics for the
- windows, scrollbars, file icons, etc... Does anyone know if this would
- work on executor? Or have any idea of how I could get it to work? (Is this
- is what is called an INIT? could I simply drag+drop it onto the hot band?)
