Another bug that has been carried over from Word 3.0

Word cannot be run unless there is a disk with a finder on it known to the
mac.  My disk has Word, the spelling dictionary (also flawed, as
mentioned in a previous post), and a System file.  There is no room
for the Finder.  (It's a two-drive system, but I use the other drive
for text files.)  I set Word to be the start-up application, and when
I boot the disk, Word complains that there is no finder, El Bomba.

The Work-around: rename minifinder (or some other application) as Finder.
You cannot do this from Finder (it does not allow you to change the names
of certain files) so use some other application (Resedit works well, but
it is not something Joe Businessman would have on hand)

When does 3.02 come out?
