There was a version of FI which had a bug whereby the Quit command 
disappeared under System 7.  It could be worked around through the
use of a global macro with one line in it.  "Quit".

Ashton-Tate fixed that bug before Borland bought the company.  
That's the only "Serious" bug I know of, although FI is incompatible
with 32 bit addressing.  Borland has said that they won't be doing
any more Mac development (personally, I think they've got their
hands plenty full trying to get out their current planned Windows
apps.)

$30 for what version?
