I have just ordered a Mac II to replace my 512ke and am worried about software
compatibility.  Does anyone know of a published list of software versions
which work well or at all on the mac II?  What about a list of software
patches that can make otherwise incompatible programs function?  If
neither of the above are available, I would be willing to compile them from
version numbers/patches which I see in magazines, on the net, or which are
sent to me privately.

Some of the packages I have questions about are:

NetTrek           Studio Session
Mazewars +        TML Pascal
Concertware+      Dark Castle
Fedit +           Mac Zap series

I would really appreciate any and all information.  If I get alot of responses
then I will organize them and post them periodically.  Thanks.
