If it helps, I have several versions of MS Word, none of which work on
my 475 running 7.6.1; the only application I used that failed to make
the transition from 7.1 to 7.6 was compiled by a Microsoft compiler.
I do have MacWrite and MacPaint on my 475, both of which get gawped at
every now and then - there's no reason for old applications to break
with a new OS if they've been written properly.
