We just got the new Claris MacPaint today. I loaded it up on A/UX, ran it and guess what? It ran. It worked wonderfully; I could paint, open other files, save to the A/UX filesystem, etc.... It was too good to be true!! And then I tried to tear away the tear-away Tools menu. Everything froze for about a minute and then dumped core. Next try I ran into a worse problem. I closed all the MacPaint windows, and went to the File menu to open a document, and-----ALL THE MENUS BUT THE EDIT MENU WERE DISABLED!!!!!! So I was stuck. I couldn't even quit. So I had to log into A/UX over EtherNet and kill -9 pid(MacPaint)!! Sounds like Claris isn't following the guidelines. Uh oh. (Claris, I'll be available soon if you need any help :-) ps. Under Mac OS if you close all windows, all menus but File are disabled. I guess A/UX mistakenly disables all but the next menu; the Edit menu. -- Mahboud Zabetian buzz@phoenix.princeton.edu 183 Little Hall (609) 520-1271 Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08544 (609) 734-7760 ****** Anyone need a soon-to-graduate hardware/software engineer? ********
