[comp.sys.mac] Fish incompatible with 32-bit QD and 6.0.3

mha@batcomputer.tn.cornell.edu (Mark H. Anbinder) (07/02/89)

I just tried to use the Fish! cdev (version 1.1) with System 6.0.3 and
the 32-bit Color QuickDraw init, and it doesn't quite work right.  As
the Finder display comes up, everything that should be white is black,
whether it's the backgrounds of windows, icon labels, or the menu bar.
Nothing is visible within the windows or the menus.

It turns out that activating the Moire cdev screen saver by moving the
mouse into the top right corner, and then deactivating it by moving the
mouse again, clears the display and makes it look and work right.  The
fishies even swim around.

Is there a newer version of Fish! I can install that will work with 
the new 32-bit color system software?  Or is there something else I'm
missing that I should be changing?

Not only does Fish 1.1 have the 32bit color Quickdraw bug, it Fish seems
incapable of running on any 68030 based machine.  It runs on my Mac II at home
fine (save the 32 bit problem), but it goes berserk on the IIx at work.
If anyone knows of a later version, I'd like to know too.
