Compatability of IIgs Graphics in 640 Mode
I tested out 14 programs for compatability, using a GS with 1.25 meg,
and an original 5.02 system disk, unaltered with NDA or CDA additions,
if possible, or cold booted older program disks that do not run under
5.02. In the following list, * means there was a palette change, **
means a drastic palette change, and NO means that either the graphic
did not load in, but caused no problems, or simply did not show up on
menu, or was dimmed. If a major problem occurred, I noted it, and said
DO NOT USE.
I listed each program I tested, along with each format in which it
saves graphics. I saved graphics in each of these formats, and either
loaded in, or made the attempt to load in, each of these formats into
the other programs.
Some programs will change palettes when loading in a graphic, but have
built in corrections to adjust them as closely as possible to the
original, such as Bud Gehr's D.T.PAINTER, which gives you the option of
using the 'host' or the 'pic' colors, and Appleworks GS, etc. I did
not always note this, nor did I note all of the palette changes. There
are a few to be leary of, and those ARE noted. I did NOT test the
Beagle Brothers versions of the old Styleware programs, but the
original ones that I owned.
I don't think I will try this with 320 mode, unless I get a hard drive
in the near future. Have fun! -Rose
