- Just thought I'd toss out a correction to an earlier message I'd written
- about GraphicConvertor "limping" under Executor/DOS -- that isn't so at
- all with the latest bleeding edge version of E/D (1.99Q5)!
-
- Under 1.99Q, the new stile of settings dialogs in GC would cause E/D to
- exit gracefully, showing a dialog stating that it didn't support the kind
- of pretty icon display request by the dialogs (in not so many words <g>).
- GC 2.2.2 would work fine, but 2.3.1 would not.
-
- This latest bleeding edge release seems to have added support for the
- stuff GC 2.3.1 is doing, and it looks like it's mostly fully functional.
- I've successfully read and written Window BMP, Sun Raster, TIFF, PICT,
- and GIF files, and done some playing around with the drawing tools.
-
- Yay!
-
- Two notes:
-
- (1) GraphicConvertor appears to be somewhat dependant on QuickTime for
- JPEG support. Is there any way that E/D can do QuickTime?
-
- (2) The OS/2 BMP support in GC 2.3.1 appears to be broken or incomplete.
- I've tossed the author about this, but just so folks who care about
- that sort of thing are aware.
-
- Anyway, this looks like an awesome program!
-
- I've also been playing around some more with ShareDraw 2.0 (a drawing
- program that requires a "System 7.0.1" setting), and it also seems to
- work fine in E/D 1.99Q5. Neat! :-)
-
- Both of these programs are available on Info-MAC.
