Omnis 3plus: Problem Using National Fields with Macintosh IIci



In Omnis 3plus on a Macintosh IIci fields set up as "National" appear as
garbled text. On the other hand, a Macintosh IIcx with System 6.0.4 works as
fine.

Is there something in the Macintosh IIci ROMs (like international utilities or
packages) that could cause this?

A Tech Support Engineer at Blythe Software told us that their Omnis 3plus
software had a problem running on the Macintosh IIci. As a temporary solution,
they suggested that the customer reinstall System Software 6.0.3 and change the
National fields to character fields. This process will not result in an
identical sort, but it is functional.

As of February 1990, Blythe was preparing a fix. For details on how to contact
them, search the Technical Info library under "Blythe Software."
