: With all the system crashes experienced with the current test version

Now who do you know that has a real version of Copland?

The trollock that was asking questions about it on 
comp.sys.mac.programmer.misc?

I don't think so, and if he *did* have a version, it was so 
pre-general-beta that it's amazing that it didn't eat his computer, 
harddrive and modem for breakfast...


I don't know for certain, but I'd guess that Copland isn't even being 
distributed outside Apple yet.
