True enough! And Karl Kraft even wrote a nice little app to automate this for you (thanks a bunch Karl! :) but it also turns out that the basic things I wanted Scene for (to make it the default for .eps files, to print those same files, including hte "center" and "scale to fit" features) all seem to work just fine without the fix. I can do without the movies (though I miss gravity), but am glad to have a straightforward EPS viewer/printer which doesn't choke on every little non-standard file (including those made by modifying .ps files with BBFig) the way Preview does. So.... if all you want from Scene is the basics then just copy it from a 2.1 system. If you want the fancy features use the Icon fix or contact Karl (be aware that his "fix" means adding roughly 2 Mb to your system, since you have to include the old shared libraries). Will report if I encounter any untoward behavior in Scene, but it's been fine for the last couple weeks. Tom
