I finally got up the guts to install System 7.0 today.  I was afraid I
wouldn't be able to run any of my applications, since the
Compatibility Checker stack said "Must Upgrade" or "Not Available" for
most of them.

My conclusion is:  don't be afraid!  I've had no compatibility
problems, even with several shareware games (which are normally not
the "cleanest" applications).

In particular, the following appear to be fine:

Kermit 0.98  (which I'm using right now)
Stuffit 1.5.1
SuperClock! 2.9 (except that it obscures the baloon help menu)
Glider 3.1.2
Glypha II 1.0
Pararena 1.2.1
Stella Obscura 1.0
all my homemade QuickBASIC and Think C applications
(though I didn't try QuickBASIC or Think C itself)
FileList 1.4
Edit II 1.2.1
Expressionist 2.07
CursorAnimator 1.0
Fish! 2.0a
Calculator+


I can't guarantee that I gave all these applications, cdevs, and DAs a
good workout, but they at least seem to work ok.

I haven't tried some of the other applications which supposedly won't
work, in cases like: SUM II, QuickBASIC, Think C.  For these I figured
it would be safer to wait for the upgrade (when it becomes available!)
instead.
