I've been using it for a week and a half now. It won't run under Multifinder, and if you use a lot of memory-grabbing INITs you may have problems, but otherwise it's not a problem. It does load an entire chapter into memory, so in 1 Meg you are limited to chapters about 30 pages long, less with lots of graphics. It needs about 700k of free memory to run. If you set up your preferences to do so, it will even warn users on machines with more than 1 Meg when their chapter is about to become too large to open on a 1 Meg machine, very handy if you don't know what machine a recipient of your document might be using.
