: Sorry but you will have to move on to 5.1a. 4.0d is not compatible with 040
: machines, caches on nor off. It is *not* 32-bit clean neither (of course).

Hmmm... I am running Word 4.0 on a 50 MHz/68030 with System 7.1, and
32-bit addressing turned on. I have absolutely no problems with it at all.
My machine has a 32K static RAM cache, and that is also enabled.

I would HATE to "move up" to 5.1; Having seen the user interface, I much
prefer the older version. (If I wanted *THAT* kind of a UI, I would use
Windows ;-).
