I have just had the chance to try out a program I am writing with some
other people under 1.3.  It is a graphic adventure with menues/windows/
gadgets of the magnetic scrolls/infocom type.  We were a bit worried
about whether it would run on 2.0, but it worked perfectly. 

Over 10,000 lines of code with graphics, sound etc. and we won't have
to change a thing.

The only difference I could tell was the top line of the requesters 
being inverted (the colours) when you click with the mouse.
