I've written a program (on a Mac Plus) that uses the new zoom box on its windows. I tried it out on an old 64K ROM system with Finder 4.1 (and the associated System) and found that there were no zoom boxes (expected) but that the grow box didn't work either. I haven't investigated it further, but apparently the window manager was not sending a inGrowBox message to my event loop. The grow box worked fine with System 3.2 on the old machine. Is this a known feature? If so, how can companies make software work for both computers when the 64K ROM Mac's are instructed to use the old System?
