Hi everyone,

I'm going to buy a Mac pretty soon, and I'm looking forward to run
PageStream on the new machine. I know there's a OS X version in the works,
but in the meantime -- does PageStream run in the Mac OS X classic mode?

If so, what's the minimal system requirements for running PageStream in
classic mode? Would an iBook 800 MHz G3 with 640 MB RAM be sufficient, or
would I need a G4 and/or even a desktop system?

Any input on the issue would be great. Thanks!

/ Martin

I'd be surprised if it didn't work, even if I can't actually prove it
absolutely. I've run OS X on my father's G3 600Mhz iMac and it ran
fine, although I didn't have OS 9 running under it, and wasn't running
PS at the time.

I'm running PS 4 on my Cube, 450 MHz G4, OS9.2/OS 10.2.5 and don't have
any problems with the horsepower at all.

Still, if you can see your way to buying a G4, your experience will be
all the better.

Aibohphobia - fear of palindromes

i can attest that, aside from a few quirks, Pagestream works quite well
on a Mac G4 Cube (450 MHz, 1.5 Gigabytes Ram) OSX.2.5 in Classic
OS9.2.2 mode. The quirks are that the tool box, edit palette, etc. do
not appear at startup even though the menu options show they should.
Deselecting and reselecting them forces the box and palette to appear.
After that, everything seems to work as expected.

I have worked successfully on a G3 400MHz Mac in OS9.1 using all Mac
versions of Pagestream so your configurations should be fine.

Hello Martin,

The latest version of Pagestream (4.1.3.4) for the Mac runs great in
Mac OS X classic mode.
Your iBook has more than enough RAM and processing power to make your work in
Pagestream fly. FWIW, I still use an Amiga at home and a Powerbook
at work. I am able
to transfer my Pagestream documents back and forth w/o any problems.
Of course, a
native OS X version would really be nice.

Cheers,
Martin

Yes.

I no longer use my "minimal" system, but I believe it ran on my 300
MHz G3 Powerbook with 320 MB of RAM.
