It's fixed.  There's a new version that _does_ work with 32-bit QuickDraw.
I've been enjoying it very much on my IIci.
Sorry, I don't remember a specific version number, but the package is
clearly labled 32-bit QuickDraw compatible, and lists the IIci as one of
the supported systems.  Sorry, I don't remember if the IIfx was
supported or not.
