Feedback from other Mac users?
[1/7] from: pa:russo:perd at: 25-Jun-2001 17:02
Hi,
I've been testing the Mac version of View for a couple of days now.
Working from the console is OK (aaah at long last!), but it's simply
impossible to activate scripts from Desktop. Anytime I try to
activate a script the setup process starts again and again and
again... It's a problem only on my four Macs? ;-)

It happens to me too. Sometimes it connects succesfully, sometimes it
reaches a reb-site but it doesn't download the backdrop image,
sometimes it doesn't connect at all. Quite an erratic behavior. But
only the Desktop, I can read http://... whatever I want from the
Console. Oh well, I'm just too happy to have /View on Mac at last. I
think I can wait a bit more for Desktop to work correctly.
Jeff, Holger: if you need a more precise feedback, you have just to ask.

It sounds like the Mac View should've been released as a public Beta
first until the teething problems were over? It's not a good look
for a v1.2 release if there's quite a few problems with it.

Sounds like async DNS is broken in some MacOS versions. We should probably
disable it on Mac...

Apparently. No problem here on OS 8 or 9. Anyone else seeing this ?

Hello Holger and List,
Today was trying run /View on [G3--233Mhz] Macintosh (MacOS 9.1 (USversion))but
with the same problems like Paul Russo:
-installation problems("cannot create file rebol in %/disk/view/ directory"
(or something simmilar) message during setup)
-after copying rebol exe into created but empty %/disk/view/ diriectory
rebol said "instalation succesful", although no file association (I'm not
sure if it should be done during the instalation on Mac)
-every launched application from desktop is trying to install Rebol again
and again...
-problems with connection, sometimes desktop "stalls" with rotating "R" so I
have to shut it down.
-when I tried to run SWIS from my rebsite I got not enough memory error
message near: to-image command (although there is 98MB RAM on this machine)
Here are Larry's speed test results(approx. 3x slower than my [Celeron--533Mhz]
machine at work):
Performance Test Results for Cyphre at [MacintoshG3--233Mhz]
Interpreter time: 0:00:04 81.25
Bitmap time: 0:00:04 100.00
