- Well, I got the SUIT downloaded. SGI version is not bad, although
- again -- the simplicity that was promised only becomes evident after you learn
- quite a bit about using the thing. It is similar to other "semi-intuitive"
- packages I have seen.
-
- One of the major attractions for me was the availability of exactly the same
- package on several platforms. I am sorry to report that the DOS version
- of the demo crashes all the time on this generic 386/33, 4M, AAmazing mouse.
- It seems to be a mouse problem, the program keeps hanging up as if receiving
- multitude of clicks that overwhelm its input buffers (after I click once).
-
- In general, the distinction between various mouse buttons is not consistent
- (or is not made? -- could not tell because of the crashes).
-
- My longest run on the DOS version: 25 sec.
