Excuse me, but if I understand you correctly, you are implying that MacinTalk
should be disassembled/reverse-compiled by someone (Apple?) so that a bug-fix
can be made to allow it to work with System 7.
Generally, most licensing agreements specifically prohibit disassembly and
reverse-compilation of the code (and generally do not allow ANY modifications
to the code at all). As an end-user of this product, typically you are also
bound to this agreement that Apple apparently signed.
Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong in any of these assumptions.
Considering the legal battles that everyone seems to be getting into these
days, I know I'm more than a bit hesitant in playing around with this.
