use-revolution Digest, Vol 51, Issue 23

[kevin oneil]

Hi All,

Richmond was kind enough to test my software on his PowerPC Leopard
installation and experienced no problems. Therefore, I am inclined to
believe Shari's view now, that the odd Leopard bug is subject to occurrence
on both PPC and Intel. There also appears to be no type of Mac in particular
that triggers the bug. So all we know is that occasionally Leopard +
Revolution = incompatibility.

Shari has had several users report the issue and I have had 3 users report
the issue. I can't stress enough how important of an issue this in the
shareware business when you have paying customers who report such a baffling
issue. Can anyone speculate as to what exactly may cause "this software is
not compatible with this architecture" OS messages when trying to launch a
Rev standalone? Again, the other issue is that Universal Binary Rev
standalones crash when they use the RevXML external on Leopard.

Thanks,

Kevin



 Clearly no one else reading this list has experienced this type of problem.
