- A friend once told me that he would not bother getting any software
- that would require him to use unconventional methods to run. He has a
- Unidisk drive and a hard drive and can't run alot of stuff because it
- required an Apple 3.5 drive. Any software that isn't GS/OS compatible
- isn't worth his time to use no matter how good it may look.
-
- I can sympatize with him. I would not go and repartition and
- reformat my hard drive everytime I run into software that isn't
- compatible with GS/OS. Any software designed for the GS should follow
- Apple's guidelines. However a program like the DOS 3.3 Launcher might
- be a good idea, but there are just too many different kinds of
- independant OS for the GS.
