Wordperfect, Photoshop on IRIX

April 6th, 2009 | Categories: Computers



Photoshop 3.0.1 is the latest on IRIX. I think it retains about 90% of today’s Photoshop functionality. Well, except that it doesn’t open PNG files, because the PNG format wasn’t standardized then. An oddity: the good old Ctrl+Alt+About trick shows that this was ported over by a Mac company? What? Will post a shot later.

As for those wondering how I can display my license number with impunity, let me quote a post from the newsgroups:

Hi all!
Thought it might interest some of you -
I used the following serial number for Wordperfect when installing it:

1WP51XR0734772

The program seems to have swallowed this number OK – at least,
it saves, prints, and I haven’t seen any weird error messages pop up so far.
Hope it will work for somebody else – and I would appreciate if someone
would
confirm it really works!
Good luck to everybody – and thanks for that fix file!

Thanks for your fix, Valentin! It was hard enough finding WP6 for IRIX.
