Here's how to make MS-Word crash. Actually, it's a way to make Switcher crash, 
but since Switcher 5.5 is distributed with Word 3.0, it's just as bad. I'm
using a Mac SE with 1 MB of RAM and a 20 MB internal drive, System 4.1/Finder
5.3, cache set at 128K.

-- Open Switcher 5.5.
-- Select "Configure, then install," and select Word 3.0. It's distributed 
    with the memory defaults at 416K preferred, 256K minimum.
-- Try to set the memory options to 512K preferred, 256K minimum, and click
    "Permanent." You'll get a "There's not enough memory to to that!" error.
    The Info window shows over 600K available, though.
-- Now, select "Configure, then install" again. The memory options are now 128K
    preferred and 128K minimum. Installing Word this way also gives a "not
    enough memory" error!
-- Better yet, try selecting "Configure, then install" once again. This time,
    set the memory to be 416K preferred, 256K minimum. Click "Permanent."
-- Ka-BOOM. The screen freezes, the display does strange things, and it might
    even make the ticking "I'm about to self-destruct" sound it makes when it
    really crashes bad. Hit the reset button. (No, I don't think the debugger
    works either.)

I can no longer install Word 3.0 using Switcher 5.5, because this happens every
time I try. Anyone know what's going on?
