- Well, I've tried it and PPage on both A4000 and an A2500 running 3.0.
- As long as the OS is v. 39.29 an KS is v. 39.106 the program runs on
- both machines. If you have anything earlier than that it will crash.
-
- What I've discovered is som very serious bugs though.
- 1. Changing between color and mono is dangerous.
-
- 2. The memory warnings don't work anymore, meaning that it is fully possible to
- run out of chipmem which in most cases will force you to reboot (you'll not be
- able to open menus, drawers etc.).
-
- 3. If the biggest free chipmem fragment gets below approx. 130K then you'll
- get recoverable alerts all the time (freeing mem dosen't help, you'll have to
- reboot).
