<HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=2>I have been testing my (almost) completed application on all of my computers for compatibility (PC, MAC), and I have noticed some strange differences:<BR>
<BR>
Rev 1.1.1 B1<BR>
<BR>
OS 9.1 (G4 500)<BR>
OS 8.6 (G3 300)<BR>
<BR>
Windows 98 SE (Athalon 1Ghz)<BR>
Windows 98 SE (Pentium II 400mhz)<BR>
Windows 95 (Pentium 133 mhz)<BR>

Opening a socket on a Mac OS 8.6 (PPC 300) takes a while (1 minute), and sending data to a socket (in a repeat loop) is terribly slow. The loop should be executing every 100 millisecs, but there is some contention that causes it to slow to once every second! I verified that if I comment out the "write to socket" line, then the loop proceeds at a normal pace. It is specifically the "write to socket" that is the problem...I am only sending a 7 char string (this works fine on all of the other computers).<BR>
<BR>
Opening a socket on Windows 95 (Pentium 133) takes a LONG time (3 minutes), but after that...everything works fine (even my socket repeat loops are speedy).<BR>
<BR>
Screen FX are slow on my Mac OS 8.6 (PPC 300). The FX are fast even on my old Windows 95 133mhz Pentium!<BR>
<BR>
Revolution does not like when my PC screen is 'Pivot' (</FONT><FONT COLOR="#008000" style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff" SIZE=2 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" FACE="Arial" LANG="0">www.portrait.com</FONT><FONT COLOR="#000000" style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff" SIZE=2 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" FACE="Arial" LANG="0">) enabled (in portrait mode). As soon as I activate any screen FX...Rev locks up.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Overall, I am very pleased that I can just copy a project I have been working on to ANY computer...the fonts and the patterns compatibility was a bit disappointing, but there are ways around that.<BR>
