What kind of data? 

Hello
 I am running a packaged code ( .a7r ) on Mac OS X (version 10.4.10). System 
configuration is 2x3 GHz dual core intel Xeon, 2 GB memory.
 My seniors worked on this system has told that data comes out from the program

that run on pentium Mac is not reliable and it gives different data different 
times for same input. Do really a processor effects the performance of the 
program. or how would i test the program about reliability.

 Thanks in  advance

What is IN the data?  How are you collecting it?  If you're not going to 
share any details of what you are doing, it will be really difficult for 
anyone to help you. 

To expand on Amy's request, what does this mean,
"data comes out from the program that run on pentium Mac is not reliable 
and it gives different data different times for same input. Do really a 
processor effects the performance of the  program. or how would i test 
the program about reliability."

What input? Why would it 'give different times to different data'?
What reliability are you trying to determine?

There is no way to determine if your problem is caused by an incompatibility 
between Authorware and the OS since you SIMPLY REFUSE to provide any details 
on what data is being collected and how your code is collecting it.  I would 
think, though, that if it _were_ caused by an incompatibility between the OS 
and Authorware, that you would not get anything being output.  So I suspect 
that the problem is with the code doing the collection and/or writing.

Good luck with it;
