OK, I have (I hope) a solution, followed by another problem.

I had the same problem when I was using 70b1.  The solution was to make 
suitcase load after atm.  This is not as simple as adding a ~ in front of
suitcases name since, at least under b1 (I havent checked this under b4),
the system loaded all the inits from the extensions folder (where suitcase
is by default) followed by those in the control panels folder.  So, I had to
rename suitcase and put it in the c.p. folder.

Now,  at the same time as I switched to b4, I upgraded suitcase to 1.29
(from 1.28) and the problem went away.  I wasn't sure which upgrade caused 
the fix, but it seems (from the fact that you are having the problem even 
under b4) that it was the suitcase upgrade that caused the fix.

Now the new problem, at the same time as moving to 70b4 I got the newest
version of silverlining (5.28) which has 32-bit clean drivers.  Unfortunately,
atm (2.0)  dies on me in 32-bit addressing mode.  Specifically, as soon as
any application gets to the point of drwaing any atm-rendered text it quits
with the error message:

     The application "unknown"  has quit because an error of type 1 occurred.

I get this message (with the "unknown") independent of the application that 
died.

I called adobe tech and they said they had had no problems with 7.0b4 but when
I pressed about 32-bit mode the tech admitted she wasn't sure.  She said she
sort of remembered something about 32 bit (though for a while she was confused
and insisted that atm works fine "with 32 bit quickdraw").  She said she
would have a senior tech call me tomorrow, so we'll see what happens.
