John Stiles' Mac viewer
(frenchkiss.sit.hqx)

Every KiSS fan with a Mac knows this one. A viewer with very idiosyncratic behaviour. Found at EMK's page.

Archive support: internal?
FKiSS: 2 (not all syntax)
CKiSS: ?
Enhanced palette: ?
Bugs and idiosyncrasies:

This viewer allows objects to have negative coordinates and be moved off the playfield by FKiSS actions; this isn't exactly a bug, but it is non-typical behaviour, and sets coded to take advantage of it may break on other viewers. Omitting the comma between the two numbers determining the size of the playfield will apparently make it crash horribly.

Real bugs:
- Inserts spaces in the cnf when saving it. (This I have from hearsay)
- Sees a page as empty when no coordinates for any object have been given for that page. PC viewers see a page as empty if no object has been listed with that page number in the object declaration block. Consequently, a page that is empty (has its button greyed out) in the Mac viewer will display all objects in the top left-hand corner in a PC viewer.
- Doesn't recognize the commands music(), changeset() and changecol().

Screenshot: none yet.
