A student on campus tells me that he uses WriteNow in MultiFinder (System
6.0.3) on a Mac Plus with 2.5 megs of RAM.

Three times in the same day he lost his work when the program quit ...
he saw a box that said "Application unexpectedly quit."  WriteNow was
the only application running.

I've seen that message a couple of times in other situations, but I
don't recall the circumstances (although WriteNow wasn't involved).

Can anyone offer any insight?
