[comp.sys.apple] Gnarly Golf GS not Sys 5 Compat.

The program Gnarly Golf, published by Fanfare, a division of
Brittanica (Sp?) software, has instructions in the included
instruction booklet that tell you how to install the program on a
GS/OS based hard disk.  Unfortunately, the program will not work when
launched from System 5.02.

I called the publisher (I had to look up the number in A+, it was
nowhere on the package, manual or disk.  SHAME!) and they admitted
that the program was designed to run under older systems (even though
it was released after 5.0) and would not run under current ones.  They
also stated that at this time they are contemplating no further
developement on this program.  So, the program does not run as
documented, and they will not be fixing it.   They would also not
accept a return of the product.  They claim that newer copies of this
program have an insert informing the buyer that it is not compatible
with newer systems.

If putting games on your hard disk is important to you, I would avoid
this program.  If good continuing support, and flexible support
policies are important to you, I would avoid this company.
