FIX-> Bought Thunder after a hearty recommendation and love it. But...I use QuarkXPress Any plans to make it compatible...possibly with their 3.0? I get a bomb with 2.12. Jon McClintock 76106,3447 The fix from the author: I know about the bomb when you do a Show Suggestions in QuarkXPress. I have fixed the problem, and the next maintenance upgrade will incorporate it. If you want to try it yourself, it's pretty easy to do if you're a ResEdit user. Open up a copy of the Thunder II cdev file with ResEdit. Open the DKND, ID=1 resource. You should be in the hex editor. Position the cursor at the end of the hex, and append the bytes 5850 5253 0002. Save changes and quit, then restart with that version of Thunder II. Should fix the bomb when the suggestions dialog comes up. As for clipboard compatibility, well, right now it's pretty much impossible since XPress puts nothing but plain TEXT in the clipboard. If 3.0 does better, then I'll at least have a fighting chance. Evan Gross 76703,207
More 3.0 / Thunder II: Symantec was very helpful. I called them to figure out what was going on. As soon as I listed my INIT/cdevs and mentioned Thunder II, they said that was the problem and that it was Thunders fault. If I run without Thunder II, everything works fine. If I run with just Thunder II, same problem. Bradley Holt 73457,2553
As it stands, Thunder II 1.0.1 (the currently shipping version) is not compatible with MORE 3.0 (you knew that, though). You should disable both MORE 3.0 and MORE II from Thunder's Control Panel (since MORE 3.0 and MORE II have the same creator signature). There are two separate problems: 1. Thunder II has a bug in its menu-handling routines that cause problems with applications that use a low-level feature of the menu manager called MenuHook. This problem is fixed in Thunder II 1.0.2 (currently still beta). 2. There is a problem with Thunder II's interactive spell-correcting and MORE 3.0's keyboard buffering scheme. I have fixed this in the latest Thunder II 1.0.2 beta, but it is not a perfect fix. MORE's buffering scheme has to be changed (or allowed to be turned off) or else fast typists will cause characters to be lost to Thunder II. Thunder II's ability to buffer characters FIXwhileFIX Thunder II is typing corrections is also lost because of this. OK, so now what do we do? Thunder II 1.0.2 (still beta) works reasonably well with MORE 3.0, but not perfectly. Symantec seems quite willing to do something about the problem, I suggest now that users light a little fire under Electronic Arts to get them to finalize Thunder II 1.0.2! Calling the support line will hopefully help. I think it should happen reasonably fast. When the Symantec folks have time, hopefully I can get info on how to do a clipboard module for MORE 3.0 so compatibility will be complete! Evan Gross 76703,207 (Author of Thunder II)
