Marty and all Stereoplot users,
A warning about Neil Mancktelow's Stereoplot program. It was written
with graphics drivers that are incompatible with the most recent
versions of the Mac OS. About a year ago I switched from
Allmendinger's Stereonet program to Neil's program. However, when I
recently upgraded to Mac OS 8.5, I found Neil's program bombs at
startup and is essentially non-functional. I wrote and asked Neil to
elaborate and he said it was that his graphics drivers were not
compatible with the new system and that the company from which he got
the drivers is not extinct. At that time he had no plans to upgrade
is program as it would be a major overhaul.
In short, if you want to use Stereoplot, don't upgrade to Mac OS 8.5!
I feel really bad about this and hope everyone who uses the program
will write Neil and beg him to spend the time to upgrade. I really
like Neil's program and can easily print EPS files from the
Laserwriter driver and edit them in Illustrator (as other folks have
explained).
Consider this a warning and a plea for Neil to upgrade. The program
is awesome, just keep your old Mac with System 8.0 or you're sunk!
