I have a friend who is trying to run a program on his 2.5 year old Mac Plus.
He was running a system/finder of about 3.2!  The program which came out in
1988 requires version 4.3 or later.  Well, I over-write all my old system
disks when I upgrade, so I could only give him 6.0.2.  Whenever he tried
running 6.0.2 with the program, he got system crashes (as if the Mac Plus
can't handle this recent a system(?)).

What are his alternatives?  Will he have to upgrade his Mac Plus?  How can
he get a hold of system 4.3?

Thanks for any help that you can offer.
