I don't see why Microsoft Mail or QuickMail shouldn't just run under A/UX as is. All applications should have been made 32-bit clean years ago after the Mac II came out. The problem is, like Mike said, is that some companies like Microsoft just don't follow the rules. I love all of Microsoft's products. They are all terrific minus the fact that they don't follow Apple programming guidelines. I've heard stories about Apple having to change System software to get Excel or Word to work correctly! I vote that Microsoft and all software companies should follow the rules. The toolbox is infinitely flexible, but upward compatibility won't be if the rules are broken.
