Since I still have trouble with the copy protection scheme 4D chose
(insert floppy each and every day, floppy fails because of adverse conditions,
4D is on every backup, virus protection software balks at modified
programs, customer very unhappy because he can't start the machine
when the floppy fails) I'd like to switch to a US 4D copy. As
far as I know these are not copy protected.
BUT will it run under an international (specifically Swiss) System 7?
Since my customer doesn't know enough English the system software has
to be localized.
And will I have to rewrite the code when porting?

Thanks in advance
