Unfortunately, MacroMaker is somehow preventing the MacTCP driver on A/UX
from being opened.  I have reported this as a bug to the A/UX Toolbox
folks.  Hopefully a future release of A/UX or MacroMaker will fix this.

I tried MacroMaker when MacX 1.0.1 was in beta test -- that's how this
got into the release notes.  It DOES work on MacOS 6.0.5.

I'm sorry, but there appears to be no work-around.  However, some of the
other Macintosh macro software might work better (does anyone know if
QuickKeys works on A/UX?)...
