Some info:
Yesterday (2/23) I found in my mailbox the long-awaited upgrade to
Megamax's compiler, Laser C. The package contained three SS disks
and a small sheaf of excerpts from the not-yet-ready manual. An
accompanying letter explained that due to problems with their printing
service, Megamax won't be able to ship the manual until 2/29 but it
will be released "as soon as is humanly possible."
A question:
Does anyone know if Data Pacific's Translator One allows one to run
copy-protected Mac software "out of the box?" Specifically, I'm
wondering if 'Sargon III' and/or Mindscape's 'Uninvited' work.
A short product review:
If you are tied to a monochrome system don't bother buying MichTron's
'Cards' software package. The user interface is woefully primitive.
They don't even use grays to distinguish between black and red cards,
which makes playing solitaire an exercise in frustration.
I've seen better PD card games (albeit for the Mac).
