I ran Apple's Compatibility program on my hard disks to
anticipate what problems I might have with System 7. Two
are worth communicating further. The program says I must
update MacFlow 3.5 to 3.53. But the tech. support person
I spoke with told me that 3.5 will work fine.

McMax is another story. Nantucket hasn't even heard about
System 7, has no plans to test or update the program, urges
prospective buyers not to buy it, and hopes it will just die
away. So, I won't know if it is compatible until I try it under
System 7. If it isn't, I'll undergo the laborious but not very
difficult conversion to FoxBase. In the long run, I'll probably
do that anyway.

But, based on this experience, I would be very cautious about
buying anything produced by Nantucket (which produces Clipper
for the PC) again.

P.S. If you saw my earlier post about DPI's init for its
Syquest drive, new software and a new manual can be obtained
by phoning them. (DPI has been acquired by PLI.)
