Photoshop and Illustrator 5.5



Well, last night, I was playing with PhotoShop 3.0.x for the Mac.  It 
loaded fine, until it got to the point where it did memory checks.  I 
gave E/DOS about 9 megs of ram to play with, with large syszone, and 
large stack.  Tried many many settings.  It work, but when it started 
looking at the "hard disk" as a scratch drive, it said the disk is bad 
and died.  This in itself really is not important.  However, if it works 
like Illustrator, it is.

Illustrator 5.5 runs, albeit slowly.  The hard disk never stopped 
spinning, the ligh was always flashing.  No problem here, except that its 
slow.  Now, when I went into the paint styles dialog, and then into the 
gradient dialog, it never repainted correctly, except, if I put a windows 
on top, then dragged it off.  I think this could be relatively easy to 
fix, by just sending a repaint message, in the window 'activate' event.

Other than that, (of the things I have tested), everything works beautifully.
