  • Web Wonder in a Pi

    From Brian Jordan@21:1/5 to All on Tue Jul 20 21:00:09 2021
    A recent discussion on the Archive Online mailing list has piqued my
    interest in using David Snell's Web Wonder program again as I have copies
    of v2, v4 and v5 all registered to me with the same serial number.
    Attempting to start any of these versions results in a "Application is
    not 32-bit compatible" message; v5 (5.00d) then runs if Aemulor is loaded
    while the older versions just won't play at all and sulk.
    I see that !Store is offering v7.02 for 60 of my hard earned but before I
    take the plunge I wonder if anyone is running the latest version on a Pi
    and if so is Aemulor required? Second, do registered users of past
    versions qualify for a discount? All replies other than "Ask Andrew"
    gratefully recieved I will of course ask him if necessary but bearing in
    mind that he is a very busy man I'll avoid that for the moment.

    I have version 7.02 and it seems to work fine on the Pi4 with R 5.28
    without Aemulor. I already had an older copy and IIRC Andrew gave me a
    small discount. Worth contacting him.

    On my Pi4 (4t�), version 5.00d runs nicely without the need of Aemulor. Nevertheless, I might be interested in an upgrade discount, if there is
    one.

    Kind regards,
