So would I.  The program double-bombs at bootup after trying to open a non-
existent GEM handle (I think).  I'm running with six megs, so memory ain't a
problem.  I peeked in the resource file...absolutely no clues what this program
even does!  I'm going to have a Mac friend get it for his IIcx, and we'll 
investigate this sucker.
