We just got the new Claris MacPaint today.  I loaded it up on A/UX, ran it and
guess what?  It ran.  It worked wonderfully;  I could paint, open other files,
save to the A/UX filesystem, etc....  It was too good to be true!!

And then I tried to tear away the tear-away Tools menu.  Everything froze for
about a minute and then dumped core.

Next try I ran into a worse problem.  I closed all the MacPaint windows, and
went to the File menu to open a document, and-----ALL THE MENUS BUT THE EDIT
MENU WERE DISABLED!!!!!!  So I was stuck.  I couldn't even quit.  So I had to
log into A/UX over EtherNet and kill -9 pid(MacPaint)!!

Sounds like Claris isn't following the guidelines.  Uh oh.  (Claris, I'll be
available soon if you need any help :-)

ps. Under Mac OS if you close all windows, all menus but File are disabled.  I
guess A/UX mistakenly disables all but the next menu; the Edit menu.
