Oh really?  Specifically, how?  I've used this combination (6.1/6.0.2)
with Tops 2.0 as well as 2.1, and have had no obvious problems. 

Can you be more specific?

I just finished a 200 page document that had many chapters created
either in Word on MS-DOS or Wordstar, imported them into the Mac, and
used Tops to do it.  No problems.  (Well, other than what Word always
has after complex editing sessions with a 400k file with lots of
embedded graphics).
