Hi all,
This afternoon I have - just for the fun of it - tried to generate a Squeak for low-end Macs. Well, I wouldn't call it a success yet. :-)
I have a Powerbook-100 (16MHz 68000 4MB) and a Mac SE with a Railgun card (20?MHz 68030 4MB) sitting here, both executing - at post-glacial resp. slightly-annoying speed - a majorShrinked version of 1.31. I had to massage the VM sources quite a bit, since the ancient systems 7.1 and 7.0t don't know about all the modern stuff. Plus, I had to use MPW 3.2 to do it. (*On* the Powerbook. Sigh.)
Now for my question: Since neither machine knows Color-Quickdraw, I had to throw out the PixMap and ColorTable stuff and replaced it with BitMaps. (The shrunken image was saved by a helpful NT machine in 1-bit display mode.) It *does* come up okay on both machines, *but*
1) it won't collapse nor expand windows, (just go asleep for awhile) 2) it won't open new windows (see 1), although it 3) will close windows just perfectly.
I know this isn't the main (or even the remote) direction Squeak is moving, but I'd appreciate any hints on where I failed to see the obvious. Since I'm not sure whether this is a topic of general interest, I'd suggest direct mail, but I'm also reading the list of course.
Nice weekend, everybody, Helge
