Discworld (apparently a PC port with a Monkey-Island-type engine) seems
very crash-prone, especially when trying to adjust sound volume, and
weirdly runs faster with Sound Manager 3.1 installed even though SM
shouldn't really be there under OS 8.0.

Xplora1 (HyperCard-based) keeps falling apart with obscure "stack didn't
understand" messages.

Does anyone recognise these problems and/or have any solutions?
