System Software 5.0.2 will start showing up soon. (The GS/OS version happens to be 3.1 with the prototype bit set, although it isn't really prototype... don't worry.) -- --Dave Lyons, Apple Computer, Inc. | DAL Systems AppleLink--Apple Edition: DAVE.LYONS | P.O.

Network Comment: to #6066 by dlyons@apple.com Not quite on topic, but I just ordered a GS(ROM3) and from reading the postings it appears as if the ROMs and GS/OS3.1(i.e System5) seems to cause many programs to fail.Is this just me worrying? Even Deluxe PaintII(unprotected version) seems to be having its problems.How widespread is this? Philip McDunnough -> philip@utstat.toronto.edu University of Toronto

The problem is that neither of us know which tools that would be. There is a "STV" (Show Tool Versions) NDA available on various BBSes that is handy for such things. It allows you to "force-load" tools, and shows the versions of all active/loaded tools (at least up to #32). You could use STV after booting a toolless system disk to see what versions are in ROM and/or GS/OS itself (if any), then again after booting a toolful system disk to force-load every tool and see what newer versions are available.

Besides System.Setup:TS2, you can throw away Tools:Tool014 (Window Manager), Tool015 (Menu Manager), Tool016 (Control Manager), Tool020 (Line Edit), Tool021 (Dialog Manager), Tool022 (Scrap Manager), Tool027 (Font Manager), and Tool028 (List Manager). [Actually, I'm only 94% sure about the List Manager--you'll find out quickly enough if I'm wrong.] Of course, this information is to help you make more efficient use of your *personal* disks (hard or otherwise). If you ever ship a product that doesn't have all the files necessary to run on a ROM 1 or ROM 3 GS, the compatibility gods will give you lots and lots of strong magnets every christmas. -- --Dave Lyons, Apple Computer, Inc. | DAL Systems AppleLink--Apple Edition: DAVE.LYONS | P.O.
