I have looked at the stuff in the sumex-aim ftp site on incompatibilities with System 7.0x but would like to know if other people are having the same problems I am. I can't get MacWrite 5.0 or Compact Pro to work under System 7.0b4. MacWrite starts to load and then the error message "Application Unkown has unexpectedly quit." Compact Pro works just great until you try and create a new archive. Then it bombs too. Anyone else have favorite programs they would like to add? I will keep a list and email or post. Thanks, Dave -- ******************************************************************************** * David Faust | tigger@freezer.acs.udel.edu | Some professors can only be * * | tigger@chopin.udel.edu | classified as weenies!!!! * ********************************************************************************

MacWrite starts to load and then the error message "Application Unkown >has unexpectedly quit." Macwrite 5.01, dated April 1988, seems to work fine under 7.0f2. I didn' take a long look, but I can open, write and save short docs. >Compact Pro works just great until you try and create >a new archive. Then it bombs too. Version 1.30 works great under 7.0f2 here.

MacWrite II works fine for me under 7.0b4. The original MacWrite 5.01 became obsolete quite a while ago; it dies miserably for me on the newer Macs. If you're still using it, why not think about upgrading? << Brian >> | Brian S.

Thanks, MacWrite 5.0 (and 5.0.1 for that matter) are no longer supported. You will probably have to upgrade to MacWrite Pro. Which not only is System 7 ready but (according to the latest MacWEEK 4/9/91) it also supports Publish and Subscribe, AppleEvents, and Balloon Help. Unless I am mistaken, you can buy (or upgrade to) MacWrite II and the upgrade to MacWrite Pro is free. But you should ask your local Software dealer or mail order house. About Compact Pro, you may have to wait until it is upgraded. Maybe the author doesn't have access to system 7, or his real job takes him away from upgrading it. Remember, it is shareware! I think that StuffIt Classic and Deluxe are 7.0 ready. +--------------------------+---------------------------------------+ / Patrick Hoepfner | NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center \ / America Online: PatrickH9 | Internet: hoepfner@heasfs.gsfc.nasa.gov \ +-----------------------------+------------------------------------------+

As I mentioned before, Compact Pro works just fine with 7.0f2c2. I've been using it heavily. -- _______________________________________________________________________________ Dan Walkowski | To understand recursion, Univ. of Illinois, Dept. of Comp.

Compact Pro crashes like a BigDog when in 32-bit mode. (I rarely use 32-bit mode.

I don't need more than 13MB of VM :) Perhaps this means that it'll finally be fixed for A/UX Real Soon Now (he says with bated breath). It works ok in 24-bit mode but not 32; since I like _some_ VM, and A/UX only allows it in 32-bit mode, I want a 32-bit clean Compact Pro! --John -------------------------------------------------------------------------- John L.

It also works just fine with System 7.0FC1, though I haven't tried it in 32 bit
mode since I never have any HD space anyway.

On a related note, has anyone else seem irregularities running SoftPC under System 7.0b4? I tend to lose my DOS compatible drives (both the SuperDrive 3.5" and the Apple 5.25") System is a IIcx with 8Meg and version 1.4 of SoftPC EG/at -O Owen Hartnett omh@cs.brown.edu.CSNET Brown University Computer Science omh@cs.brown.edu uunet!brunix!omh "Don't wait up for me tonight because I won't be home for a month."
