  4. The Curse Of Pestilence Mac Os Catalina

The macOS Catalina bad news train kept on rolling this week as AccountEdge, friend of the Apple-using beancounters, threw in the towel over the forced migration of Macs to a 64-bit world.

Mamut software, a UK tentacle of the Oslo-based Visma group broke the bad news to customers this week that Acclivity Software (the developers of AccountEdge) would not be making the software Catalina compliant 'now or in the future.'

  1. Three Deaths of State Sovereignty and the Curse of Abstraction in the Jurisprudence of Personal Jurisdiction. The latest versions of Adobe Reader do not support viewing PDF files within Firefox on Mac OS and if you are using a modern (Intel) Mac, there is no official plugin for viewing PDF files within the browser.
  2. OS: 64-bit Operating Systems (Windows 7, Windows 8 & Windows 8.1 or above) Processor: Intel Core i3-4170 or AMD FX-8300 or higher Memory: 8 GB RAM Graphics: DX11 Compatible GeForce 760 or AMD HD 8800 or higher with 4GB of RAM.

Mamut has long been selling on the software as 'user-friendly, powerful accounting for Apple Mac,' replete with HMRC 'Making Tax Digital' compliance but, alas, while the rules might be bang up to date, AccountEdge won't be (at least as far as Apple's OS emissions are concerned.)

Mac users are hardly spoiled for choice when it comes to accounting software. Indeed, while Apple's marketing puff for its latest OS cheerily proclaims: 'With macOS Catalina, the apps you love are now more beautiful and intelligent than ever', Cook's gang strangely fails to add 'unless it's something you want to run a business with, in which case you can fsck off.'

Page 44 'KAI, 44 KV Kakulankaw ilk ay os-n-JDiscord; di s- Kaaa —ecanie omdt. Kahikaran-n-The usual or ordinr cuI Kakulanan nag palad-n Misfortune, torn or habit.

Register reader Michael Shaw commented of the situation: 'The failure to upgrade their solution will drive the user base to the online solutions like Xero.'

While Acclivity had embarked on a 'multi-year 64-bit upgrade project', 'In the end, AccountEdge's 30-year-old codebase proved too outdated to establish compatibility with Apple's newest operating system,' Visma said.

Greybeards will recall a compatibility layer to ease the transition of code from classic macOS to OSX back in the day.

The options available to users are stark. If you want to keep using AccountEdge (and get its updates), then don't upgrade. If you have upgraded, then consider something like Parallels to run an older OS in a virtualised environment or perhaps dust off that old Mac that's been lurking in the corner and use that instead.

Or maybe have a crack at downgrading things.

Catalina's arrival last October broke oh so many things, including several of Adobe's wares.

Despite considerable warning from Apple that it was coming, the dropping of 32-bit support caught many unawares. Indeed, even now Adobe recommends uninstalling 32-bit apps before attempting a Catalina upgrade and warns that little-used apps such as the 2018 release of the Creative Cloud (or earlier) probably won't work properly.

'We have no plans,' Adobe's support page reads, 'to update apps that we no longer support or develop.'

Still, at least the beancounters get to join the creatives in Apple's Catalina pain-party.

The Register contacted Acclivity via its owner, Priority Software, for its take on the situation, but we have yet to hear back. ®

The curse of pestilence mac os x

Amiga, Inc, the company that in 2000 split from Gateway Computers—the eventual owners of the Amiga IP after the Commodore bankruptcy in 1994—has had a rough and difficult life. The company was hit hard by the dot-com crash in 2001, which put most of its projects in limbo. Since then, it has managed to partner with other firms to release both new hardware (Eyetech's AmigaOne and AmigaOne Micro) and new software (Hyperion's Amiga OS4). Unfortunately, fights over the deals that were signed at the time have led to a legal standoff where both new Amiga hardware and a finished OS4 are available, but they cannot be sold to consumers. In the middle of this quagmire stands Bill McEwen, president of Amiga since the Gateway split, who finally came out of a self-imposed silence recently to answer some questions posed by Amiga fans.

Unfortunately, the answers contain very little of substance. McEwen was unable to comment on the lawsuit, so no new information was on offer about how the standoff might be resolved. Hyperion and Amiga, Inc. are fighting over ownership of OS4 based on a contract that allegedly stipulated that Hyperion would receive the rights should Amiga, Inc. declare bankruptcy. Amiga, Inc. was bought wholesale in 2003 by a company called KMOS that then changed its name back to Amiga, Inc. after the sale was completed. Hyperion is claiming that this constitutes a bankruptcy, whereas Amiga, Inc. disagrees.

McEwen also didn't comment on whether or not Amiga OS4 would ever be made available for the new Sam 440 PowerPC motherboard that was recently demonstrated at the Amiga show in Pianeta, Italy, and which is the choice of Hyperion to replace the no-longer-available AmigaOne board. Amiga, Inc. is instead promoting an unreleased set of PPC motherboards to be delivered by ACK Controls. McEwen was asked to comment on the state of these designs, but would only say that he was 'very confident in his abilities' and 'very pleased with the progress that has been made so far,' without committing to any dates.

On the software side, Amiga, Inc. is implying that OS4 is yesterday's news. McEwen said that OS5 is 'ahead of schedule' and will be 'better than Mac OS X.' As for a release date, he will only say that 'details for OS5 will be made public in the fourth quarter of 2007' which is essentially an announcement of an announcement, something that the Amiga community has suffered more than its fair share of.

McEwen is not unaware of how he is viewed by the community. 'I have been reminded time and again about the 'Amiga curse,' he said. 'I certainly can say that there has been more than one time where I considered this to be real.' The Amiga curse started with Commodore, but continued on as company after company that picked up the Amiga assets has either abandoned the technology or gone bankrupt itself. It's a shame, as OS4 is a nice OS that runs extremely quickly on low-powered hardware. I continue to use and enjoy my AmigaOne, and with just a little investment in third-party software development it could be a genuine alternative to Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.
