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
