November 27, 1991 - San Francisco, CA - Simple INIT makes new Quadras?
compatible with all Macintosh software, including Microsoft Word 4.0,
Excel 3.0, and PageMaker 4.0. The Compatibility INIT even works with
desk accessories like DiskTools 3.0 and dCAD Calc3A.
Alysis Software Corporation released today v. 2.2 of The Compatibility
INIT, an add-in for Apple?s new Macintosh Quadra? 700 and Quadra? 900
computers which makes them completely and transparently compatible
with software that cannot currently run with the Quadra?s 68040 cache
turned on.
The Compatibility INIT works by recognizing incompatible software as
it is launched and toggling the cache on-the-fly to conveniently
eliminate incompatibilities and minimize performance sacrifices.
Unlike the cache control panel that is currently shipped with the
Quadras, Alysis? Compatibility INIT is fully automatic. It does not
require users to reboot to change the cache settings. In fact, users
of the Compatibility INIT can simply execute previously incompatible
applications without calling up the control panel at all.
The Compatibility INIT contains a built-in list of applications which
were previously incompatible with the Quadra. Users can update the
list through a standard dialog box accessible from the control panel.
DL #1 contains version 2.2 (free for non-commercial use)
DL #2 contains version 3.0 (commercial version)
