I recently obtained Giffer 1.0 and some picture files to look at with it. However, when I launch it from my IIci, it goes through the motions of starting, but it ends up back in the finder. What's the deal? I'm using the built-in video of the IIci and I'm running it in 8-bit-color mode. -- thomas willett Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta gt4586c@prism.gatech.edu "Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent." - Salvor Hardin (Foundation)

You double click on Giffer to launch the Application and it seems to load for a while then you wind up back at the finder like nothing every happened. I've been trying (on and off) to look at the code resources with resedit to see what is going on but no luck so far. Thanks Mike Goodrich mlg@cblph.att.com

It is having a problem with 32-bit Quickdraw, which is on-board in your
IIci ROM. I don't know if there's a more recent version. I have to use
32-bit QD for ATM on my Radius Pivot, but I have the 32bQD INIT since I
have a MacII.

Is there a decoder for the GIFFER89a specification come out yet? (Besides FractInt V. 14 for the PC -- need one for the Mac.) Better yet, is the Mac version of FractInt V 14 come out? __Mouse.o()~ ------------ Project Blue Bonnet & Texas Center for Educational Technology --- Dhanapong "Mouse" Saengrussamee | AppleLink : U1364 | BITNET : mouse@untvax Technical Support, CECS Dept., | BIX : d.mouse.s | CompuServe : 71301,1516 University of North Texas, | GENie : d.saengrussa | IP : 129.120.1.4 PO Box 5155, Denton, TX 76203-5155 | Internet : mouse@vaxb.acs.unt.edu voice (817) 565-4435 | SPAN : utspan::utandx::untvax::mouse fax (817) 565-4425 | THENet : untvax::mouse ------------------- UUCP : {...!uunet!convex!iex}!ntvax!vaxb.acs.unt.edu!mouse

It may be that 1.0 does something freaky when presented with 32-bit quickdraw (which is in the IIci ROM). ? I'm not sure whether 1.06 is at sumex yet, I think I got my copy somewhere else.
