I run Xenix 3.2.1 with VP/ix. Does anyone our there know whether Ventura runs on VP/ix? I am a deidcated user of EROFF from Elan Software, but I am feeling the lack of drawing capabilities and want to look at the DOS side for something with better integration possibilities. This is a home system, so price is *very* important. -- Louis Schmittroth, Computer Science, Athabasca University

I am using VP/ix 1.1A and Xenix 3.2.3. I've used Ventura a bit under VP/ix, and everything seems fine. -- David McCune, Sage Publications, Inc. 2111 West Hillcrest Drive, Newbury Park, CA 91320 voice: (805) 499-0721 fax: (805) 499-0871 domain: dfm@sagepub.com uucp: ...uunet!sagepub!dfm

We just started using Ventura -- I just did our latest "UNIX Pages" with it. I ran it on VP/ix under Xenix. The only problem I had was that switching between multiscreens didn't work right. When I got back to the Ventura screen it wasn't repainted correctly. Clicking on the repaint box fixed everything except the top line (outside the window). This was with a Herc video board. Performance seemed to be about the same as running it under DOS. I haven't played with the EMS driver yet as it isn't clear what you can do. My guess is that you actually use an EMS memory board but it really doesn't say that. If this is the case it seems real dumb. Seems VP/ix should dole out real memory in the dumb-ass way that DOS wants to see it. Anyone know if this is the case? I just bought Adobe Illustrator. I would like to run this under Xenix but so far it appears that it is too slow to run on anything. I have the windows (yuck) version and expect that may be the problem. At the moment I expect to return it. Anyone know of another tool that generates EPS (or something else Ventura likes) and is less of a pig? -- Phil Hughes, SSC, Inc. P.O.

Ventura Publisher does run under VP/ix, no matter what it costs, although I can't say how satisfactory its performance is since I use it under DOS on general queezy principles. ----- John Boteler NCN NudesLine: 703-241-BARE -- VOICE only, Touch-Tone (TM) accessible {zardoz|uunet!tgate|cos!}ka3ovk!media!csense!bote

Yes it will work. I set it up a while back on a system with Update A. You have to use the mouse event driver. -Rick
