Now that MultiFinder and the new System software is widely
available many of us on the Net are starting to observe some
"peculiarities" with various applications. Just thought I'd
pass one along and hopefully save people a phone call.
VersaTerm-Pro stores all its screen data in RAM, and hence can
be a real memory hog (although it sure updates a screen fast!).
If, when running under MultiFinder, you do not increase VT-Pro's
memory partition (using the Get Info box), it will automatically
scale the graphics screen size to the largest possible with
the default memory settings, which is much less than the full
screen size for the larger Mac II monitors. If you've got the
memory, just play around with the defaults until you give the
program enough to fill your screen (as a guide, with a
19", 8-bit color monitor, this requires over 1.25MBytes!).
Hope this wasn't already obvious to everyone, since I was
thinking of submitting it to MacUser's Tips column!:) (see
"Moron's on the Loose").
