I don't know about that claim (never having seen it :-) ), but I DO know
that I'm having problems with the demo on my Mac Plus.
When bring up FullWrite Demo, I usually get a "You are low on memory"
warning. When loading one of the demo files that came on the disk, I
sometimes get an "Out of Memory" error. What gives?
I am running on a Mac Plus with 1 meg of memory, and System 4.2/Finder 6.0.
I am NOT running Multifinder. Do I have to get more memory to run the
demo? What about the real package? (And no, I don't have a ton of INITs
running on my system).
Despite the somewhat grumpy tone of this posting, I do like FullWrite,
and look forward to the actual release. Assuming I ever get it running,
of course. :-)
