I have a complaint about the compatibility of AmigaOS2.0 with existing Amiga software. The compatibility is a little bit TOO GOOD. If there is any program that should break under AmigaOS2.0, it is DeluxeMusic. If there is any program that needs to be updated, it is this one. It is slow, very buggy, uses a 640x200 custom screen (cannot be run at any higher resolutions), and uses ancient file requesters. Unfortunately, DMCS seems to run fine on the A3000 under OS2.0. As a result, this program will likely NEVER be updated. Had DMCS broken under OS2.0, there would at least be a glimmer of hope that EA would update this program. It is my hope that Commodore would, at the last minute before AmigaOS2.0 is put into ROMs, do a minor code tweak that would only break DMCS, and not break any other programs. ---------------------------------------------------- | BITNET: BARRETT%FOREST.ECIL.IASTATE.EDU@ISUVAX | | Internet: BARRETT@FOREST.ECIL.IASTATE.EDU | | SnailMail : 2923 Oakland St. | Ames, Iowa 50010 | | TelCo : (515) 292-7270 | | Fido : Marc Barrett (1:285/614.0) | |--------------------------------------------------|
