- Late-breaking information
- -------------------------
-
- As with any new piece of technology, some minor last-minute problems surfaced
- as the product was being tested for release. Although every effort has been
- made to test on a wide variety of machines, you may experience one of the
- problems listed below. We recommend that you save your work often; this is
- always a good practice anyway.
-
- PROBLEM: on some machines with TrueColor (24-bit) displays, only half the
- tree will show up in normal rendering.
- WORKAROUND: either run in HiColor (16-bit) or 256-color (8-bit) mode
- - or -
- run in flat-shaded or wireframe mode.
-
- PROBLEM: attempting to save files on the CD-ROM can result in program
- failure. This can occur after opening one of the sample files and
- making a change.
- WORKAROUND: don't attempt to save files on the CD-ROM. Instead, use the "Save
- As..." menu item to save the sample file to your hard drive.
-
- PROBLEM: grouping trees, flowers, or shrubs can result in program failure.
- WORKAROUND: don't group trees, flowers, or shrubs. The behavior of plants is
- different than that of static objects like dog houses and bird
- feeders.
-
- PROBLEM: on some machines, subjecting the program to lengthy and heavy use
- can result in program failure.
- WORKAROUND: save and save often. This is always a good practice anyway.
-
- Thank you for buying Softkey Landscape Architect, and we hope you enjoy
- creating your "field of dreams."
