I was pretty disappointed when I heard that it would be some months before
Apple were going to modify the 8.24GC init to work with System 7.0. I
do realize that is not a trivial task, but as most of these cards are
used by people who would have the machines and memory to use 7.0 to its
full advantage.
After seeing QuickTime on the weekend I would feel considerably better
if I knew that Apple were going to utilize the GC card for compression/
decompression for use with QuickTime. The demos are pretty amazing for
an alpha version! (Love that ability to paste movies into documents, tho
I don't know how useful it will be...)
Does anyone know if the new GC init is going to be a compatibility upgrade
or if Apple are planning to do something exciting with QuickTime and
rendering TT fonts, it would be a serious waste of a mean processor if
they did not.
Regards,
Malcolm
