Well, after the (relatively mild) flames I recieved for posting about the 
problems I had with the PD DeskJet driver without full testing (which I still
haven't had time to do by the way), I was loathe to bring this up, but yes,
I had major problems with Preditor.  I was really looking forward to trying
it out but I really couldn't.

It bombed reliably on startup if I loaded with suitcase II 1.2.3 running.
(usually ID 28, 10, or 1).  If I disabled Suitcase (and maybe some other inits,
I forget which) I could usually run it, but only could load a doc if I 
double clicked on the doc.  If I tried to use their OPEN menu Item, their
custom OPEN box would only get partially drawn (a couple of buttons, and
a scroll bar, but no file list etc.) and my only choice would be to cancel.

Interestingly (and reproducabley) any attempt to rerun Preditor, after trying
to use the OPEN menu option (ie, load preditor, try option (fails as above),
cancel, quit, then rerun Preditor by double clicking on a doc) leads to a 
bomb (ID 01, or 10).

Well, The program has lots of features I'm dying for, so if this can be
resolved Id love some help.
