Hoping someone can offer some hints on how to get two programs to run on a Pismo running 9.2.2.
Time Out is a basketball CD with all kinds of plays on it. It will only go so far running on 9.2.2 (it mounts ok) but somewhere along the line it stops when you want to print out any of the information. According to one website http://search.megaspider.com/TopSearch.html$FS?%22Intouchinteractive.com%22, it is supposed ro run on a Mac that is system 7 or higher. The seller of the CD has been hot & cold about helping. They are not programmers or developers of the CD so they can't really help all that much. Is there some way I can get my Pismo to emulate an earlier version of Mac OS, so I can view and print from this CD. I'm almost 100% sure that there has been no update to the CD for later Mac OS's. As an alternative, I can run it successfully on Win 98, so the information is still obtainable from the CD, I'm just trying to limit the number of machines I need to access to us it. The intouchinteractive website (developers of the CD) is inactive. The other program (more important as I would like to use it in the classroom) is called Capitalism. I have an older Mac version of it (Mac only) although they do have one that runs on MS Dos 5.0 and maybe Win 3.1/Win 95? It also mounts and goes to a certain point in the program then locks up. I would really like to use this in the classroom using a projector so we can do a business simulation in an "Intro. to Business" high school class. I finally have tracked down the current company behind the program (Enlight Software @ http://www.enlight.com in Hong Kong. I have emailed them and am awaiting a response from their support people. I imagine I won't get very far as they don't list anything on their website about Mac support (however, they do have a graphic of Capitalism in a Mac labeled box). There aren't any downloads for updates or newer versions, so I'm anticipating a stonewall there. I'm not even sure of what version of Mac OS, it was supposed to run on. The documentation that came with the box and on the website is very limited. There is a Capitalism Plus listed on some gamer retailing sites, but nothing is indicated if it is Mac compatible, I get a sneaky feeling it isn't. Would love to find workable Mac solutions for both of the above ... let me know if you have a brainstorm or have already been down this road.
