- ]> NAME ME ANY PD OR COMMERCIAL PROGRAMS THAT ARE FULLY SYSTEM-COMPLIANT.
-
- Gee, I don't want to sound too critical here, but that's pretty lame. I mean,
- REALLY lame. The lamest. Stinkaroo. Pee-YOO.
-
- It's like this: Whether, for instance, WordPervect or Imagine are 100%
- system compliant is moot -- they do NOT trash my system. Both have run on
- every machine I have tested them on, as long as the memory requirements were
- fulfilled. On the other hand, 3 out of 4 Amos programs I've used crash and
- burn on my 020, my 3000, and my roomie's 500 w/GVP. Amazingly enough, only
- 2 out of 4 crash on her 2000. Must be a fluke.
-
- So call it a matter of degree, if you must. So far I have NOT been impressed
- with what Amos stuff that has passed through my hands.

-
- You probably didn't get any replies earlier as no one feels like expending
- the hours it would take to type in the stuff that IS compliant. But if
- you insist, pop in your workbench disk and do a DIR OPT ALL on it. That's
- a good start.
