- Hi Cliff,
-
- I managed to get Nisus 4.0.7's table tool up and running just now on E/D199q8.
- Nisus itself still dies (and this time takes E/D with it, no nice trap messages
- and restarts), but that may be due to transferring files from an existing Mac
- Powerbook 510c installation. Some files got corrupted in transit and I'll have
- to redo part of the copy.
-
- The really good news is that the Table Tool stayed up, did not crash, appeared
- functional in every respect except printing, and saved a table! On exiting the
- app, I double-clicked on the saved table object, which opened perfectly with
- all info from the previous session intact. The only downside apart from the
- printing, which I don't think I have set up properly at the Exec end, is a
- popup at program startup which asks for a replacement font, but this I guess is
- a function of the font situation in Exec itself, and nothing to do with the
- Table Tool itself.
-
- Attempts to start up the Nisus TEX equation editor failed with an "executor:
- Fatal error. encountered unknown, unimplemented trap `AODD'." message and on
- clicking on the restart button, Exec obligingly restarted.
-
- My current E/D program program object parameter settings are:
-
- -system 7 -size 800x600 -applzone 8M -printer LPT1
-
- btw, the floppy access in q8 is blazingly fast under Warp compared with
- previous marques. Instead of minutes it's in the order of seconds, both for
- checking disks and opening them.
-
- Regards,
-
