I received clarification on exactly what happened.
Apparently, with only 1.5 megabytes installed, an error message was
generated by Convert 3200 that said: "not sufficient memory".
Considering that Convert 3200 _REQUIRES_ 2 megabytes of RAM, of course an
error message was generated. Is that a flaw in the program that it won't
operate correctly if you don't have the minimum amount of required RAM? I
think not.
In any case, Shareware Solutions II wants all its customers to be happy
with all the products it offers...so a full refund has been offered.
To restate Convert 3200's requirements:
"Convert 3200 requires a IIGS with at least 2 megabytes of RAM memory;
4 megabytes of memory is recommended to convert large 1280 * 800
graphics. Convert 3200 has been tested on Apple IIGS ROM 01 and ROM3
versions, and it requires System 6.0.1. Although not required,
a hard disk drive and an accelerator card is recommended."
