#er on Win95
6 messages in this thread
Chris,
I just rec'd copy of er. Machine I'd like to run on is currently up to its neck
in Win95 beta. I'm guessing er and win95 will be a happy union, but thought I'd
ask you if you've tried it yet (Of course you have!) and if, to your knowledge,
it will install politely for me.
Tks!

That's correct…Elastic Reality runs happily under Win95. We have noted
only one anomolous behaviors under Windows 95. When rendering a full
effect, the MINIMIZE control on the render status dialog is missing
for reasons unknown to us (all our other dialogs retain their minimize
controls). It is a safe bet that we'll fix this before Win95 actually
ships. Actually, its a safe bet that empires will come and go before
Win95 actually ships, but that line of comment is more appropriate to
the Windows forums. 🙂

Great! Thanx for the reassurance.
BTW, I tried it on a Pentium 90 NT3.5 at the office this morning and it runs
FAR faster than I expected. Why no VFW on NT? I can't wait to get home and see
the AVI files play.
Tks again,

Gene,
We didn't include Video for Windows support under Windows NT because at
the time we began shipping, we weren't allowed to ship a 32 bit version
of VfW (because it was part of the then unreleased NT 3.5). Since
3.5 started shipping we have added the Video for Windows as a supported
format under NT…I think that the hiipup.zip file in our library may
contain the 32 bit AVI support…and if it doesn't we can add it.

I'll get it…
Thanks, Jason

The HIIPUP.ZIP file in our vendor library does in fact contain the new VFW
32-bit support as well as load/save capability for FLIC animations.
