I just got Aztec C 1.06H, with System 3.x. I'm running on a 512K Mac with OLD ROMs, MFS, etc. I don't have a copy of Finder 5.2. Does anyone know of any compatibility problems between the new System file and older Finders? Will the 1.06H SHELL, etc., work with an older System file should I find it necessary to replace the 3.x System for some reason? The only problem I've encountered so far (1.5 days of use) is that using the new 'mkdir' command will result in a bomb (remember: old ROMs, MFS, etc.); I've gotten one or two other bombs and though I don't recall what I did to trigger them, I think they were to be expected. I'd hoped that the SHELL would be smart enough to figure out it was running on old ROMs, etc., and either disallow dangerous operations or replace them with safe simulations. Perhaps this is too much to hope for and I should be glad it works at all (which it certainly does). Replies via e-mail, please; I'll summarize (i.e., concentrated) for the net.
