Does the new TeachText make it any easier to create TeachText files (ttro) with both text and graphics? Is there still a 32K (TextEdit) limit on the text?

Apparently not. Just for the fish, I tried to paste in a PICT and it refused ("Paste" menu item was grayed out). > Is there still a 32K (TextEdit) limit on the > text? Yep. :-( Can't win 'em all, I guess. ========================================================================== Rick Holzgrafe | {sun,voder,nsc,mtxinu,dual}!apple!rmh Software Engineer | AppleLink HOLZGRAFE1 rmh@apple.com Apple Computer, Inc. | "All opinions expressed are mine, and do 20525 Mariani Ave. MS: 3-PK | not necessarily represent those of my Cupertino, CA 95014 | employer, Apple Computer Inc."

Per a previous poster, I created a TT alias and placed it on the desktop for easy drop-on-ability. Dropping a 32K Nisus file on it works. Dropping a 51K Nisus file says that the file is too large. -- Wayne Folta (folta@cs.umd.edu 128.8.128.8)

The new TechText in System 7 sounds pretty good. Is it compatible with
System 6.0.x?
I'd like to distribute it with my commercial software and it sounds much
better than the old version. If it doesn't work, I'll be stuck distributing
the 6.0.7 TeachText. (Yes, I know about how to arrange the Software
Licensing stuff.)

Sorry - It appears that we developers will have to pull all sorts of tricks to maintain compatibility and usefulness so that our applications run on both System 7 and earlier versions.

No. When you launch under 6.0.5 you get an alert that says System 7 is required. -- Gerald A.
