Maybe someone out there can answer this question:  Yesterday, I person on campus
asked me why he couldn't copy his MacDraw II from one hard drive to the other.
I told him that there shouldn't be any problem, and I went and tried it myself.
It copies fine, but when you try to run the new copy, all of the menus appear
with about 8 spaces in-between each letter in each menu item (and the title).
The application still works (assuming that you don't need the menus on the end
of the menu bar), and all of the command-key shortcuts still work.

I checked to see what version he was running.  It was MacDraw II 1.0x22.  Now
another questions arises:  Does he have a legal copy of MacDraw II?  It would
seem to me that this is an experimental version, but I don't know how Claris
goes about numbering its applications.

If the behavior of this application is intentional, does anyone know how they
did it?
