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.
