#3D Studio compatibility

S3/3D Studio 2-27-93 14:30 Sb: 3D Studio compatibility From: Bud Leppard,
FGI To: Sysop
I must leave my computer for extended periods at times, but I have been
unable to find a screen blanker or screen saver program, (preferably), that
will work with 3D Studio. Do you know of such a program, and if so, where can
I find it?
Since 3D Studio is very disk intensive, I could benefit greatly, I
believe, by using a disk caching program. However, due to some nasty rebooting
problems I was having, my dealer had me remove all such programs. Is there a
disk cache program which is compatible with 3D studio?
It would greatly facility my operation if I could operate 3D Studio and
Animator Pro under Windows. EVERY other program I own operates successfully
under Windows. I have 64 Mb of memory, so memory is no problem. Are there
plans in the works for a Windows version of the two programs, or at least
versions which are compatible with Windows?
Thanks for the info.

Dale,
I don't recommend screen savers, either, as they often cause problems
with a variety of applications, including Windows. Instead, I turn the monitor
down (or off) if it's going to be operating without me for extended periods.

The issue of getting 3DS or AAPro to run under Windows is linked to the version
of the Phar Lap 386|DOS-Extender built in. The version of AAPro 1.3 (Phar Lap
version 4.1) will permit AAPro to run under a DOS Window. However, there seems
to be a limitation to the DOS environment provided by Windows 3.1 for its DOS
shell programs. I can't seem to get AAPro to run in higher than 640×480
resolution. Also, playback speed is slower than running just from DOS. I
wouldn't recommend running AAPro 1.3 from Windows it unless I had some Windows
tasks to bounce in and out of while AAPro was running.
Your wish — that we make us Windows aware (at the least) is noted.
