Mac Client

Problem: Unable to mount Brisque volumes.

Workaround: Mount the relevant volumes manually through the chooser (Apple menu), before starting up the Mac Client application. Will be fixed in the next Mac Client version.

This problem was with installer 3.0fc11 , but the problem solved in the new installer 3.0fc13 (Still in Beta).

PS/M 6.0

Problem: PltRemote using F6 (Save) doesn’t work (A Mac OS system message appears)

Workaround: After updating the PltRemote, press the "esc" key. A dialog box will prompt the user to Save or discard the changes.

Extensions & Plug-ins

Applications

Problem: PS/M installed on OS9 send to remote FAF installed on OS 8.6 - after the FAF the file does not return to PS/M. This does not happen if PS/M is installed on OS 8.6 and FAF is installed on OS 9, or both installed on OS9.

Workaround: Upgrade Mac FAF station to OS 9.
