- I was messing around with 1.99a some more this weekend and have the following
- questions/observations:
-
- 1) The colour support seems to work quite well on the stuff that it works
- with. I did notice some problems w/ some unimplemented system calls, but i
- assume that this is due to Quicktime not being fully implemented yet [?]. I
- also noticed in pagemaker 5 that if i tried to give a object colour, the
- colour ended up all over the screen [somewhat randomly, not a complete fill]
- and i had to quit to correct this.
-
- 2) In Freehand, the toolbox does not appear [???]. This has been happening
- for several betas now, but i forgot to mention it.
-
- 3) I got the "Oh, no, More Lemmings" demo from the inet, and it seems to work
- quite nicely 'cept the cursor is screwed up.
-
- 4) Fonts don't work at all now [when typing, although reading a document seems
- close to working]. No font appears and the whole line turns black.
-
- 5) The Crystal Quest demo bombs after the first wave, and the real version of
- Crystal quest doesn't work at all.
-
- 6) Res-edit doesn't work [although i didn't expect it to]
-
- 7) Had a couple of minor crashes while using the File Utility program [forget
- the name]. I can't be more descript because i don't remember the exact
- circumstances, since it worked when i tried it again.
-
- 8) The DarkSide didn't work. i had kinda hoped it would since it's not an
- init, but i guess it still uses some screensaver specific bios calls?
-
- also, what's the status of sound support that was going to be in 2.0?
- Any chance on even preliminary support in 1.99x?
-
- Sounds like some exciting things could be happening in the next few months.
- Glad the meeting went well.
