The new version 2.0 of the AST Mac286 Software (downloadable from the AST
BBS) has some new features:
- MultiFinder Support. Run DOS and Macintosh Programs at the same time.
Mac286 has an option to maximize DOS performance or let
your other applications and AST more equally share the 68020.
- Better support for color and graphics modes. CGA mode is faster and both
modes (CGA and Mono/Hercules) now support character highlighting. (This
should make 1-2-3 easier to use.)
- The D: Drive software has been enhanced to support subdirectory access.
Accessing files in directories other than the selected directory in v1.01
did not work and caused some operational problems when using networks to
run DOS applications.
Other new functions included in the update are:
- Copying and pasting graphics from the PC to a Macintosh application
- Postscript Printing to LaserWriters over the AppleTalk network system
- Improved Mouse Support for PC applications
AST will update all registered users.
