Test in WIN98 Bottle on 6.0 RC1

Well I test PAF 5.x out in a WIN98 bottle and it installed great. Everything worked 😀 except the (individual tab) which operated fine for the first two or three try's just as it should, then when i click off on another tab and came back it went white. The individual tab no longer crashes the app from my testing and I have tested every area in the applications including imports,exports, merges, searches and many other areas. It looks really good!!! The only catch 22 😥 are the graphics drawing on the individual tab and on some dropdowns. Other than that the app performs like it should. Which is change from my last test. I also tested it out in a 2000 bottle and an XP bottle and both act the same. The program acts as stated in my last posting blowing up and not drawing the text. The only way this program will function is within the WIN98 Bottle. If it functions like this I would recommend users purchasing the codeweavers program for the mac because 98% of the functionality is there for paf 5.x making it usable. 😊

I have it working on my MacBook Pro. Everything seems to work under the WIN98 Bottle except it crashes when using the arrows to move through the Pedegree chart. (There are arrow next to names that denotes that there is a marriage below that person. Its usable but not as stable on my system as it sounds for others in this thread. Other than that, it seems to be usable and works ok so I am going to upgrade my vote from Honorable Mention to Bronze.

Note: When using the WIN2000 Bottle, the text is missing from everything. It seems a little more stable but totally unusable.
