Apple can hardly be expected to clean up bugs in Fourth Dimension. If you
want a copy of 4D that runs witht the new system, call Acius and ask for the
upgrade form to V1.0.6. If you are a registered owner you should have gotten
a letter from Acius.

In general I think that a lot of the problems attributed to System 6 are
actually the fault of the programmers who didn't follow the rules and are
now getting burned. This doesn't help, it's true, if you are using one of
the faulty programs, but Apple has taken more heat on this than it should.

If you want to criticize Apple, watch for my forthcoming flame... I think
it's got some good material to start with...
