Concerning the quotes below: It's a good thing my version of
Ensemble 2.01 can't read. It doesn't know any better then
to run on a 12MHz 286 with 1meg of RAM. I don't know where
all of these 386 only posts keep coming from. Someone must
have made a typing mistake somewhere and it was never
corrected. Sure it runs faster with more RAM and a bigger
processor, but Ensemble 2.01 WILL run on a 286 with 1 meg
of RAM.
TC> Do you have a shareware version of GEOS that would work on a 286 wit
TC> Dos
TC> 6.2 on it? I would love to try it out.
TR> There _might_ be a 'demo' of Geoworks
TR> but if so I'm not recalling it right now and likely don't have it no
TC> The reason that I thought GEOS would work with my 286 is because
TC> I am using AOL for DOS which has the GEOS interface and it works
TC> fine...I will continue my search for a shareware/trial version
TC> of GEOS...next stop will be AOL's file areas.
CM> If you can't find a demo or the testdrive version of GW1.2, try
CM> to grab a used copy of the ver1.2. It WILL run on a 286 just
CM> hunky-dory. It will even run on an XT class machine. The newer
CM> demo must be of the ver 2.0, and it does require at lest a 386.
CM> Possibly even a copy of the shareware "GeoPublish" may have
CM> enough of the GeoManager to add the AOL icon and run it from that
CM> interface. I personally can attest to the fact of ver 1.2 running
CM> on an xt, up, as I did run it on one, then upgraded to a 286, and
CM> watched it fly. Then came the 386sx, and ver 2.0, followed by a
CM> 486dx4-120 and ver 2.01....seems really impressive on this class
CM> machine, kinda makes me wonder how it will do on a pentium or
CM> better...he he he ...
I repeat, I'm using Geos Ensemble 2.01 on a 286 w/ 1 meg RAM.
