Although probably this was not Larry's problem, it is -IMPORTANT- to note that
the various Laserwriter Files are NOT!!! compatible. That is>if you are using
a particular version of LaserWriter you can NOT start using another version
without rebooting the LaserWriter and loading in the new LaserWriter File. Yes
it is documented but is hidden more than necessary.
In short you can not have different people working with different versions of the LaserWriter Files compatibly. Good Luck.
