#EYBROW_I.PXP broken?
I downloaded EYEBRO.ZIP to check out the eyebrowse PXP, but can't get it to run
properly. It is EYEBROWSE V 1.0. I am using 3DS rel.3, and the Vibrant driver
rel. 1.0.1.P6 (Feb. 28, 1994).
Main Display = Vibrant
Graphics Board = ATI Ultra XLR, 800×600, 16777126 colors
(also tried 800×600, 16777126 colors, BGR; 800×600, 16777126 colors, MemMapped;
800×600, 256 colors)
Using a Gateway Pentium P5-60, in DOS 6.2

MS-DOS is resident in the high memory area.
The PXP launches correctly in 24-bit(in 8-bit a PXP error message occurs,
saying I'm in 8-bit, but launches the PXP fine until the mouse sticks), but
after the "EYEBROWSE This is a shareware version…" dialog is toggled away,
the mouse freezes in the upper left corner of the main PXP screen. I also tried
placing the PXP in the 3DS.SET file as an External Program, but same results.
Making the main display 24-bit causes redraws to slow down considerably, and
some wireframe colors are wrong. Could the PXP run off of the Materials Display
instead? This would allow the Main Display to stay the optimal 8-bit depth,
while using the normal 24-bit depth in the materials editor. I'd also like to
see the keyboard hotkeys used– I had to warm boot each time to exit the PXP:
standard 3DS keyboard alternatives like the TAB key to toggle, the Q key to
quit, etc, would have been great.
I've been looking for this kind of app. for a long time. I would buy it in a n
instant if it works!
