when node -v === v0.10.35 but then upgrading to v0.12.4 and some npm uninstall and reinstall stuff later it works now. Awesome app, BTW.

Yeah, I used to write to buffers the old-fashioned way (with indexing + shifts and ors). I was too used to the first iteration of buffers in node v0.3. With this project I just decided to use the new school API finally. I suppose we could include a shim for older versions of node since it would be a headache to rewrite the GIF and APNG compilers.

I got the same issue on v0.10.28. Might be worth mentioning the required node version in the Readme.

Fails with 0.10.39

Should be fixed for v0.10.x.

Is this released to npm? I am still seeing this error on my system (osx). Fairly sure I have the latest version. Though ttystudio doesn't understand --version.

[chjj]

@HParker, yes. It's released to npm.

$ ttystudio --version
v0.0.11

writeUIntBE no longer appears in the code at all:

$ find . -name '*.js' -print0 | xargs -0 grep writeUIntBE
$

Sounds like I have some system issues I need to resolve. Thank you for your time!
